1.HOME OR KITCHEN GARDEN

The main purpose of a kitchen garden

is to provide for the family, daily with

fresh vegetables rich in nutrients and energy.

There will be continuous supply of

vegetables throughout the year

the taste of the family members.

The size of the garden depends on

the size of the family and

on the availability of land.

Points to the con s idered for rais ing crop s

in a kitchen garden:

1.The perennial plants should located on north side of the garden

so that they may not shade other crops and compete for nutrients

with annual crops. Once the perennial crops are established,they will supply vegetables regularly without any additional cost

and also with less care.

2.Around the boarder. on the fence, creepers can be raised

i.e. lab lab ,cucurbits etc.

3.The land should not kept vacant. A continuous pattern

in the form of successive or companion cropping is to be followed

4.Root crops can be raised on ridges.

5.One side of footpath a single staked tomato and on the other sideleafy vegetables may be planted.

6.A proper rotation of crops is to be followed i.e. deep rooted followed by

shallow rooted crops, a leguminous crop followed a non-legume etc.

CROPPING PATTERN

It is always better to make a plan before planting. The location of plots,

crops to be grown, season of sowing variation of crops to be used and

succession of planting is to produce crops which ensure continuous supply

of fresh vegetables and to avoid glut of any one crop or season.

GROWING PERIOD : NAME OF THE CROP :

plot-1:

may-oct Brinjal (round)

nov-feb cauliflower

mar-April coriander

plot-2 :

aug-dec Brinjal (long) with Palak as intercrop

jan-april lady's finger

2.Market gardenGenerally these gardens are

larger in size which produce vegetables

for commercial purpose nearer to

local market.Most of the market gardens are

located with in a radius of 15 to 20 km

of a town or city.

The cropping pattern of those

gardens will depend on the demand of

local market.There cost of land is high and

intensive methods of cultivation

are adopted.

A market gardener has to grow

varieties to catch the early market

so that he go to better price.He can utilize organic manures

like municipal compost which are available

at cheaper rate.

3.Truck garden:

This is the type of garden which produces special crops

in which in which relatively large quantities for distinct market.More extensive area is taken for gardening and

the method of cultivation is less intensive compared to

market garden.

The location of this type of garden is determined by

the soil and climate factors suitable for raising a particular type

of crops. Very few crops lie. one or two crops only are grown.

E.g.: In summer season, tomato is grown in madanapally

area of chittor district and they are marketed in bangalore, tirupati,

vellore etc.

Cabbage, Cauliflower potato raised in summer at

Nilagiri hills are sold in madras and bangalore etc.The produce are generally sold through the

middlemen. The cost of land and labour are comparatively cheaper.

Hence the cost of production is less and usually the net returns

are also less as larger amounts are incurred on transport

and commission to middlemen.

4.Vegetable garden for processing

This is the type of garden which comes up around vegetableprocessing factories. These gardens are responsible for regular

supply of vegetables to the factories.

Due to lack of processing industries, this type of gardens are

not well developed in India. Few existing factories purchasefrom local market and the products produced from them are

not up to the standard.

These gardens specialize in growing only few vegetables

in bulk which are suitable for processing like canning ,dehydration,

paste making or freezing .

The prices are paid on contract basis on weight and

quality of the product.

5.Vegetable forcing:

This type of garden is concerned with the production of

vegetables out of their normal season. vegetables like tomato,

cucumber etc. can't be grown in winter in temperature regions.Therefore these vegetables are grown under special structures

like glass houses in foreign countries.

Asparagus, mushrooms hectare also grown in glass house

or other special structures.

Special varieties are developed for this purposes and

the cost of produce is very high.

In India this type of gardening has not been developed

since we have varied climatic regions where it is possible to

grow in the open all types of vegetables in one region or other.

The cost of production of vegetables in special structures

will be high.

Thus they get crop earlier and fetch higher price in the market.

6.Vegetables for seed production

Good seed is essential for successful growing of any crop.

Seed production is rather a specialized operation.

Soil climate and disease free conditions are factors

influencing the location of seed producing areas .

A knowledge of the crop , its growth habit and mode ofpollination are essential .

A proper isolation distance have to be maintained for each crop.

The grower should also know the method of rouging , threshing ,

cleaning ,grading, packing and storing .

Generally the growth, flowering and fruit development

should be during rainy or humid season and harvesting

in dry period .


34/38

There are different kinds of seed production:

1.Nucleus or breeder seed

It is the initial seed which is produced by the

organization which releases a variety.

Seed is 100% pure.

2.Foundation seed

It is seed multiplied from the nucleus seed in the

Government farms or of NSC farms.

The 3rd and 4th stages of multiplication are

registered and certified seed respectively which

are multiplied by grocers.
