Soil pH around 5.5 - 6.5
b. Recommended variables
Superior Variates: Venus, Asian Star, Sabana and Krakatoa
c. Preparation of seeds
The seeds were soaked in warm water (37 C) for 2 hours before planting
Has the power to grow> 90%
Clean and free from pests and diseases.
d. Planting;
Soil is hoeed / plowed as deep as 30 cm
Make beds 80 cm - 100 cm wide, 4 m - 5 m long (according to land conditions), 20 cm - 30 cm high. Between the beds a trench is made 20 cm wide, 30 cm deep.
Make a 10 cm deep run above the bed to put the manure.
The seeds are planted using a 5 cm deep stick
