Groundnut.
The groundnut (bhuimug) crop is grown mainly as akharif crop in the district. Light sandy-soil, medium black but well drained and good alluvial loams arc favourable for groundnut. Fields are
ploughed and harrowed to get a good seed bed for sowing the crop.
Manures are also applied. After 2/3 showers of monsoon i.e. about the end of June groundnut seed are sown with a three coultered drill or are dibbled. The distance kept between the rows in case of erect varieties and that for spreading or creeping varieties is about 304.8 mm. (12 inches) and 457.2 mm. (18 inches), respec-tively. The rotational crops taken by the cultivators of the tract are cotton, jowar and bajri in that order. The seed rate, per acre in the case of spreading and erect varieties is 27.216 to 36.287 kg. (60 to 80 lbs.) and 36.287 to 45.359 kg. (80 to 100 lbs.), respectively. The basal dose of manures per acre consists of five cart loads of farm yard manure as top dressing, 50-802 kg. (112 lbs) of superphosphate and 25.401 kg. (56 lbs) of ammonium sulphate before sowing.
After sowing the seedlings are seen to take roots in the soil in about two weeks. In about one and a half month the crop is intercultured with one hoe. One or two weedings are also required. The flowering starts after about two months. The crop usually takes about 3J to 4 months to ripen. The harvesting consists of pulling the plants up by the workers as also with the help of a plough. The pods are then picked by hand. The Spanish improved variety of groundnut is recommended by the agriculture department as an improved strain of the crop for the district.
The groundnut crop is mainly cultivated for oil. The groundnut may however be eaten raw or cooked. Its oil is used in cooking.in the manufacture of
vanaspati, in soap industry, etc. Its leaves and branches form good fodder. Its cake is also a very highly concentrated food for cattle.
Seasamum.
The sesamum (til) crop is usually grown as a kharif crop on light sandy loams or light soil. It is produced mainly as a rainled crop. It is taken either as a single entire crop or as a mixed or bordered crop. The field is got ready by repeated ploughing and harrowing, before sowing the seed, usually in June-July, it is mixed either with ash, sand or manure or with the seed of the main crop with winch it is sown. The crop matures within three or lour months, ft is. harvested in September-October. The plants arc cut close to the ground, and collected in bundles and allowed to dry. The grain pods split open and the seed are extracted by shaking the plants against the ground.
Castor.
Among non-edible oil-seeds, castor is grown both as a kharif and a rabi crop. It is produced on deep red loams both sandy and clayey and also on good light alluvial loams. Two types of plants are grown, annual and perennial. The annual varieties are smaller. The perennial varieties are mainly grown along the irrigation water channels on the borders of sugarcane fields and in garden lands. The kharif castor crop is generally sown in June-July and it ripens in
December. When the crop is grown single its seeds are drilled. The plants grow to a height of about 3 metres (10 feet) and bear for several months. The seeds are gathered after the end of February of the following year. The castor oil is used in soap industry and in medicine. It is also used as a hair oil after perfuming, and for burning purposes and for lubrication. |
