Hello Keerthi gowda
First and foremost tell me what made u to think of pomegranate as your main crop.
Pomegranate grows well under semi-arid conditions and can be grown upto an altitude of 500 m. above m.s.l. It thrives well under hot, dry summer and cold winter provided irrigation facilities are available.
***The tree requires hot and dry climate during fruit development and ripening.
Whereby the major commercial crops grown in ur area are sugar cane and oil seeds.
Coconut is the major plantation crop grown in the taluk.
Mango, banana, sapota, watermelon are the major fruit crops and
tomato, brinjal, onion, gourd varieties, cucumber, ladys finger, green chillies beans are the major vegetables grown in ur area.
In Pomegrantae nowadays ‘Bhagawa’ variety of pomegranate is presently under commercial cultivation.
This variety matures in 180-190 days with average yield of 30.38 kg fruits/tree. Bigger fruit size, sweet, bold and attractive arils, glossy, very attractive saffron coloured thick skin makes it suitable for distant markets. This variety was found less susceptible to fruit spots and thrips as compared to other varieties of pomegranate.
It has no incidence of cracking of fruits.
This variety gives high yield (30-40 kg/tree) in case of better management
