  • Nutmeg can be grown as an intercrop in coconut, clove, arecanut and coffee gardens.
  • Regular mulching of plant basins after slashing weeds and shading in summers in the early years are very essential.

Irrigation

  • Nutmeg needs sufficient water for its growth, requiring irrigation in summer season.
  • The quantity/frequency of watering depends upon the region and the condition of the plant.
