Planting is generally suitable for the summer season when the cold is less. Kalingad fruit is in good demand in summer. This crop adapts to hot and dry climates. Hot days (temperatures above 30 से C) and cold nights are best suited to increase the sweetness of the fruit during the growth and development period.
Cultivated by sari or ale method
Before plowing, deep plowing of the soil should be done by mixing 15-20 tons of decomposed manure per hectare in the soil and giving two separate rotations. Planting can usually be done by sprinkler method, ale method or mattress steam method. If planted by sprinkler method, it should be planted at a distance of 180-200 cm x 50-60 cm. Make small larvae at a distance of 50-60 cm on both the sides of the sari and sow 4 seeds of straight variety or 2 hybrid varieties in one larva. Generally 2.5-3 kg of straight variety and 750-875 gm of hybrid variety is sufficient per hectare. To prevent the spread of fungal diseases, seeds should be soaked in Carbendazim 1 gm per liter of water for 3 hours. As the seed cover is firm, to increase the germination capacity, the same seeds should be kept in a damp bag for 12 hours and then used for planting.

Paddy cultivation method
For cultivation on mattress pads, after cultivation, make mattress pads 60 cm wide and 15-20 cm high. The distance between two mattress pads should be 180-200 cm. At the time of preparation of Gadivafa, the application of urea 109 kg (50 kg nitrogen), single super phosphate 313 kg (phosphorus 50 kg) and muriate of potash 83 kg (potash 50 kg) per hectare should be given as basic basis. Spread the lateral of the middle drip on the mattress. Then spread mulching paper of 120 cm (4 feet) width and 25-30 microns thickness. When applying mulching paper, make sure that it is parallel to the mattress and that it does not sag. Mulching paper should be drilled at a distance of 50-60 cm from the side at least one day before planting. So the hot air created inside will go away. Can be planted by preparing seedlings or directly on the mattress.
