VEGETABLE SEEDS COMBO PACK

To successfully plant the seeds from a vegetable seed combo pack that includes Okar, Brinjal Puneri Kateri, Green Capsicum, and Gavar Gavran KGP pakets,

follow these step-by-step instructions for each type of seed:

General Preparation for All Seeds:
Select a Suitable Location:
Choose a spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
Ensure the area has well-drained soil.

Prepare the Soil:

Loosen the soil with a shovel or garden fork to ensure it is aerated.
Add organic compost or manure to improve soil fertility and texture.
The soil pH should be around 6.0-7.5 for most vegetables.

Watering:

Water the soil before sowing the seeds, keeping it moist but not waterlogged.
Step-by-Step Planting Instructions for Each Vegetable:

1. Okar (Okra/ Bhindi):

Seed Depth: Plant Okra seeds 1-2 cm deep in the soil.
Spacing: Space the seeds about 30-45 cm apart in rows, with 75 cm between each row.
Sowing Time: Plant during the warm season when temperatures are consistently above 25°C (77°F).
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy until the seeds germinate. Water every 2-3 days.
Harvest: After 50-60 days, the Okra plants will start producing fruit. Pick when they are young and tender, usually around 10 cm in length.

2. Brinjal (Puneri Kateri):

Seed Depth: Sow Brinjal seeds 1 cm deep into the soil.
Spacing: Space plants 45-60 cm apart in rows, with 75 cm between each row.
Sowing Time: Start in late winter to early spring, as Brinjal thrives in warm weather.
Watering: Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to reduce fungal diseases.
Harvest: Typically ready in 120-150 days. Pick the fruits when they are glossy and firm, and the skin is shiny.

3. Green Capsicum:

Seed Depth: Plant Capsicum seeds 0.5-1 cm deep.
Spacing: Space the plants 30-45 cm apart in rows, with 60 cm between rows.
Sowing Time: Start in spring when temperatures are warm, and there’s no risk of frost.
Watering: Water consistently and deeply, especially during flowering and fruit set, but avoid waterlogging.
Harvest: Harvest the peppers when they reach the desired size and color (green for immature or other colors when ripe).

4. Gavar Gavran (Cluster Beans):

Seed Depth: Plant the seeds 2-3 cm deep in the soil.
Spacing: Space the seeds about 30 cm apart in rows, with 30-45 cm between rows.
Sowing Time: Plant during the monsoon season (June to August) or when the temperature is warm, between 25°C and 35°C.
Watering: Water regularly but ensure proper drainage. Gavar does not like waterlogged conditions.
Harvest: Typically, the pods are ready for harvest 50-60 days after sowing. Harvest when the pods are tender and green.
Additional Care:
Fertilization: Use organic fertilizers like compost or well-rotted manure to provide nutrients. You can also use balanced chemical fertilizers at a rate recommended on the package.
Mulching: Use organic mulch like straw or leaves around plants to retain moisture and control weeds.
Pest Control: Watch for pests like aphids, whiteflies, or caterpillars. Use natural pest control methods or insecticidal soap if needed.
Pruning: For Brinjal and Capsicum, pruning of dead leaves or weak stems can improve growth.

Key Tips:

Be patient! These plants need time to grow and may take several weeks to germinate.
Keep the plants well-watered but not overly drenched.
Ensure good air circulation around the plants to prevent fungal issues.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to grow healthy and productive vegetables from the seeds in your combo pack!
