Aftercultivation

Weeding has to be done two or three times depending on weed growth. Earthing up may be done two times along with topdressing of fertilizers. pruning of Plambago branches 30 cm above ground level, 3 – 4 months before harvesting for higher yield is recommended. pruned branches can be used as planting materials.

For controlling nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita and Radopholus similis) associated with Chethikoduveli, apply Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf1) @ 10g/plant at the time of transplanting rooted cuttings.
