Complete Bio-input Program for Cardamom Plantation for Higher Yield
ಹಂಚಿ
A complete bio-input program provides balanced nutrition, disease protection, and pest management throughout the cardamom crop cycle. Combining biofertilizers, biofungicides, and biopesticides helps maintain healthy soil, vigorous roots, improved flowering, better capsule development, and higher marketable yield.
Regular application of beneficial microorganisms improves long-term plantation productivity while reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
