Dhaniya Farming

 

Coriander

It is used in daily eating vegetables, as ingredients for taste. The price of coriander is around 500 to 600 rupees per kg. Here, how we grow coriander in field is introduced. It is great source of income for farmers. The coriander is seasonal cereals which take 3 to 4 months to product come out. 

    Farmers are taking advantage of coriander farming. First, the field is grind by tractor or other devices so that the seed of coriander can grow easily, then very small amount of water is shed in the coriander field. Too many water or collection of water is bad for coriander. So, water supply should be controlled during coriander farming. The spread of coriander seeds should be 2-3mm in distance, so the stem and flower and fruits will grow well and the yield is high.

In this way coriander is farmed in field and come to the market place and milled in powder form.
