Removal of weeds is advantageous for better growth and yield. The weeding should be done at 15 and 30 days after sowing.

The fertilizers have to be applied as per recommendation.

Irrigate immediately after sowing, followed by life irrigation on the third day. Irrigate at intervals of 7to 10 days depending upon soil and climatic conditions. Flowering and pod formation are critical stage where irrigation is a must.

Avoid water stagnation at any stages of growth.
