- 23. OUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS PLOT • Arhar crop is alloted in a plot of area (5x4)metre square. • Deep ploughing was done to break the hard pan & water was then given whole over the field. • Then water was sprinkled over it with a rose can. • After 3-4 days Chloropyriphos was sprayed over the plot. • Then after some days the seedlings emerge out and proper irrigation is maintained at this critical stage. • Then gap filling was done to increase the population. • Our crop is yet to harvest so we are waiting for the harvesting indices.
