- Spacing: Depending upon sowing method spacing may vary. In the pit method use row to row spacing of 2-3.5m and 60 cm between two plants.
- Sowing Depth: Plant seed about 2-3cm deep.
- Method of sowing: For sowing different methods of planting like furrow method, Pit method and hill method can be used depending upon climate and season.
