These are the list of 3 crops that will help you make 3-4 lakh rupees in 3 to 4 month of time period.
These crops require regular monitoring and best soil to make the best yield possible, read full article and get to know more about these 3 crops. These 3 crops are Radish, Spinach, Green Coriander.
1. Radish Crop
In the rainy season from June to August, if you can sow radish in one acre of your land, the radish planted at this time period will give the most amount of money in the entire year on average. If we compare the beginning as well as the ending season rate of radish, you will get Rs 42 to Rs 50 per kg, and in the last time, you will get up to Rs 15 to Rs 20 per kg. You can earn a lot of money from this crop, but you have to work hard in the first 15 days after planting this crop. Regularly monitoring your crop as well as taking some precautions while selecting the seed can also contribute to the better yield.
Precautions and Conditions
Some precautions you have to take while sowing this crop are that there should be no waterlogging in your farm; rainwater should drain out. If there is waterlogging, then your crop can be completely destroyed. The soil you have—don’t take it too smooth. If it’s a little loamy and sandy, it will be fine. Then comes the matter of field preparation. Now, while preparing the field, there is no need for indigenous manure in the radish crop. If you can afford chemical fertilizers, you can put in about a full bag of DAP. With that, you can put 30 kg of Moto Potash, mix them well, sprinkle them in your field, and plow the field again. Your field is ready.
Now comes the method of sowing during the rainy season. Avoid sowing radish on flat beds, as waterlogging can ruin the crop. Instead, do it on ridges and keep about 1.5 feet of distance between ridges. This method can prevent water damage and ensure healthy radish growth.
Seed quality is key to a successful radish crop in the rainy season. Use spinach leaf radish varieties like Somani Seeds X35. Choosing a variety that performs well in your local area is also a good method. Use 2.5 to 3 kg of seeds for 1 acre, and before sowing, treat the seeds to prevent blackening and root maggot disease.
2. Spinach
Sow this crop in the months of June, July, and August. You can get up to Rs 20 per kg on average in the rainy season. The best part of this crop is it can be harvested 3-4 times at one place. If you harvest spinach 3-4 times, you can get 1 kg per square foot. Since 1 acre equals 43,000 square feet, that’s a potential 43,000 kg per acre. Even at just Rs 10 per kg, that’s Rs 4.3 lakh realistically. Prices in the rainy season go up to 15 to 25 kg, so earnings can reach up to 5 lakh or more.
Seed Required
If you have a local spinach variety that performed well last year and produced seeds, you can sow that. Hybrid seeds aren’t mandatory. The spinach seed requirement per acre is 3 to 5 kg. Field selection and regulatory monitoring of the field are crucial. Avoid waterlogging in well-drained or sandy soil. After germination, spray M-Start to control fungal disease. If you control it in the first 15 to 20 days, you can easily earn Rs 32 to 3.5 lakh per acre.
3. Green Coriander
The market prices of the crop are the highest of the entire year, but there are some challenges you face if you sow this crop during this time. If you plant green coriander at this time, then it does not germinate in the fields of many farmers due to the high temperature; however, this time the monsoon has arrived a little earlier. This time the temperature has gone down a bit. Now, if you sow green coriander in the months of June, July, and August, then definitely your green coriander will germinate well as compared to other years. If there is a reversal in the weather, it turns hot, or heat waves hit, install mini sprinklers in your field. They help reduce field temperature by 4 to 5 degrees Celsius, which is crucial for coriander success.
Seed Conditions
Also, increase the seed rate to 18 to 20 kg per acre. If seed treatment isn’t already done by the company, treat the seed yourself after germination. Around 10 to 12 days, some seeds may sprout late, 2 to 3 days after germination. Market prices will remain strong till October; you will get the highest prices of the year.
Conclusion
Success depends on hard work in the first 15 to 20 days across all three crops. If you stay alert and handle your crops well, you can easily earn up to 1 to 3.5 lakh per acre with only a 10,000 to 15,000 investment.
