After planting, mulch the beds with dry or green leaves @ 15 t/ha.

The first and second weeding have to be done 45 and 90 days after planting. Further weeding will not be necessary as the spreading leaves will smother the soil surface.

The fertilizer application should be followed by earthing up operation. Avoid water stagnation in the beds.
