| Summary: | This article is based on a sample study conducted among 300 cardamom planters in three states
viz., Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. The study was conducted so as to understanding the
cultivation practices of cardamom with a view to provide an understanding to help decision
making of cardamom growers. As such the study has revealed the practices in cardamom
cultivation in terms of the area under cultivation of cardamom, inter- cropping adopted,
cardamom varieties chosen for cultivation, seasonality of cardamom cultivation, high yielding
varieties, borrowing for cultivation, replantation, span of cardamom plant, irrigation, manuring,
soil testing, application of
pesticides and harvesting, and
post-harvesting. The study has
suggested some measures based on the findings, that would help the cardamom growers in three
states to make decisions with regard to quantity and quality of cardamom production. |
