Brinjal in Precision Farming

The precision farming in brinjal in the farmer Mr.Gajendiran 's field earned 5.16 lac rupees per acre in a year . The field was drip irrigated in a 4 ' broad bed in double row planting system .. the brinjal yielded continuously for 8 months with annual yield of 86 MT and sold @ Rs.6 per kg .Basal application of organic manures and bio fertilizers and water soluble fertilizers given at weekly interval made the brinjal crop flowers continuously ..

Polyhouse with Capsicums

4300 sq mtr polyhouse with capsicums

Talking about equipment, the below are the details -
1) 16mm drip system (make - finolex plasson)
2) fogging system (make - finolex plasson)
3) HTP sprayer (runs on electric motor as well as desiel engine) - for spraying purpose
4) 7 hp submersible pump ( for drip and fogging )
5) 5 hp diesel motor ( make - field marshal )
6) drip system includes ventuari system (for fertilization) and a disc filter.

      - Polyhouse - Rs. 480 / sq. mtr
      - drip, fogging, venturi, disc filter - Rs. 280000
      - Basal dose (rice husk, compost, red soil, nutrient soil from dam, fertilizers etc) - Rs. 550000
      - HTP sprayer (with eletric motor & diesel motor) & 5 HP Diesel motor (make - field marshal)  - Rs. 73000
      - Seeds - (Namdhari NS280 & NS 281) - Rs. 160000
      - Bed Making - Rs 20000
      - G.I & MS Wires for top support system in capsicum - Rs. 10500
      - Polyester Thread for tying plant - Rs. 11000

Taiwan Guava Plantation

TAIWAN GUAVA PLANTATION IN MODERATE DENSITY  - CAN EARN Rs.7 TO 10 LAC PER ACRE PER YEAR
Three types of Taiwan guava cultivars are
1.Taiwanese guava – single fruit weight 400 – 700 grams
2.Century guava         - single fruit weight 200 – 400 grams
3.Pearl guava     -    single fruit weight 200 – 400 grams
Spacing = 12 -15 feet plant to plant and row to row
PH = 4.5 to 8.2 but best PH range is 6.5 to 7.5 ( near neutral PH )
Temperature range 15 to 34 degree celsius
Rainfall = 1000 to 3800 mm well distributed through out year
Relative humidity = 70-90%
Total number of plants per acre = 250
Training and pruning = In 5-6 month old plants , cut the terminal portion to the height of 2 – 3 feet , allow 4 to 5 main branches , and 2 to 3 sub main branches and maintain dome shape .
Yield per plant 35 to 40 kgs per plant and  around 7500 kgs per acre
But Taiwan guava can also be planted in moderate density of  3M * 2 M spacing with 600 plants per acre and per acre yield of 12 ,000 kgs .
To achieve this yield , proper irrigation network , basal application of organic manure and water soluble fertilizers evenly supplied in various growing phase is necessary.
The taiwanese guava for its aroma, flavor , Mineral and aminoacids and crispiness finds excellent foreign market in canada, Hng hong , Malaysia , china and indonesia and singapore ..In near future Taiwanese guava will sure catch its market in important cities in India . Few Guava fruits keeps doctors and clinics away from general people
