Chrysanthemum plantation for cut flower production
Since those who start now will only be planting in late august , you can cut short one step and do an unpinched crop with denser plantation , this is how
Aim to have bulk production end Nov to Dec
You can start with say 10000 cuttings and plant them at 48-64/squ mtr on a 1.0 mt wide bed with 4 laterals, these yield a minimum of 9000 cut flowers or 900 bundles between nov and dec. The minimum rate for mums bunch at this time of year is Rs70/bunch i.e Rs63,000 in 3 mths. The cost of plants is
Rs 30000/- or Rs3 /cutting
If you prune the crop well after harvest and manage the lights, you can make your own plants for the next season and avoid plant cost too.
Capital Investment is primarily for a drip system only, if you are doing it in open and support system in bamboo and nylon ropes
You can cover a small section with plastic and provide lighting for this area, to try and make your own plants from these i the next season
You are welcome to bring up other queries . Ggl seemantini pathare for more details also.
