Dear Friends now Coleus harvest is going on at varoius places in Tamilnadu, karnataka, Andhrapradesh and Maharashtra. The aerial part is being thrown or dumped in the field by the growers. Only root and basal thick stem are harvested for medicinal use. Interested growers can get the coleus shoots from the fields and plant in your field for nursery use. Because of water shortage several growers unable to maintain nursery of coleus. Those who are having sufficient watering facility from bore well or any other water source can maintain a coleus nursery in 10 cents - 1 acre. You can take Coleus cutting from the nursery in order to plant in the main field for the forth coming season (june - Aug). You can also sell coleus cutting to the growers. About 20000 shoots are required to plant in one acre. Coleus propagation(Multiplication) is through stem cuttings only. No seeds available for it. Try to raise Coleus nursey. Thank you

Coleus is a 6 month crop good season is july- Dec. 18000 stem cuttings should be planted in an acre. 45 cm spacing is required, sandy slopy soil is good, water logging should not be there, more organic an inorganic nutrients should be applied. The crop will be affected by nematodes, and fungus. Control measure should be taken once in fifteen days after the shoot established well. Forskohlin content preferred is minimum 0.6 % in the dried root, one can get up to 1.5%. Yield expected is 300 - 500kgdried root/ acre. Basal 10cm long stem with 0.4% forskohlin can also be sold. The root should be cut in to small pieces and dried in sunlight for 7days. Market price is between 200- 300 per kg dried root.

Sir,

I am a farmer from western uttar pradesh. My Land is situated about 70 kms from UP-Uttaranchal border. This Land is situated in Indo-Gangetic plains and is composed of fertile alluvial soil. Temperatures range from a low of six degrees to a high of 45 degrees. All Crops ranging from sugercane, rice, wheat, mentha are cultivated, mango and guava orchards are plentiful.

I am curious whether coleus can be cultivated on this land successfully. If it can be cultivated then can i get hold of some farmer who is doing Coleus in any part of UP...

I will be grateful if somebody can guide me related to the expected yield of coleus and methods of cultivation.. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.


Regards
