Planting Seeding

Young Palm Mixture

The planting hole should be filled with the above mixtures up to 20 cm below the ground level. But in case of lands with poorly drained soils, the planting hole should be filled up to the ground level with the above mixture. If the soil is frequently under water logged conditions during the rainy season planting holes should be raised a little above the ground level. When seedlings are ransplanted ensure that seed nut of the seeding is not buried deeper in the above soil mixture. Buried collar region of the seeding leads to rotting during heavy rainy days.

When poly-bagged seedlings are used for field planting, first cut and remove the bottom of the poly bag with a knife. Then place the bottomless poly-bagged seeding in the center of the above  prepared hole after removing the soil to accommodate the poly bag in the soil mixture. Finally lift and remove the poly bag carefully without disturbing the soil in the poly bag and roots of the seeding. In areas where black beetle damage is high poly bag may be lift half way and tied it up to the base of  seeding to cover the collar region of seeding (picture 9) and made a few holes on the poly bag to facilitate the aeration. This poly bag should be removed after 3-4 months from planting.

However in poorly drained soils the tying of poly bag around the base may increase the of collar rot during rainy season. In such situation remove the poly bag completely from the collar region to facilitate the direct direct exposure to sunlight.

It is advisable to carryout preventive treatment against possible termite attack. This is done by immersing the nut of the seeding for a few minutes with one of the following insecticide solution. (In the case of poly bagged seeding drench around with 1 liter of below solutions for one seeding after field planting)
