What plantation will suit me?

[bharathy]

Hello,
I live in Chennai. I have an agricultural land of about 4 acres about 100 kms from Chennai. I have planted sugracane in about 2 1/2 acres. I want to know what type of plantation will suit me in the rest of the space. My limitations are I can visit the place only about twice in a week. I have employed a watchman but I can't totally rely on him. I am looking for long term returns and plants which will not be eaten by cows as there are a lot of cows around. My watchman is not able to keep an eye on them all the time. Please suggest something which will not need a lot of water.
Also I want to know which is the best place to buy papaya and vegetables seeds like ladiesfinger, bottlegourd, brinjal etc.
Thanks

hello sir,
since already you were cultivating sugarcane which demands lot of water what is the source of water for that, paddy you can think off and if it is not stagnated by water means you can even think of melia dubia and sandal wood which will cost more and less maintenance. commercial vegetables and flower seeds are available in private seed companies near to your cities and there are some nurseries who will get u the seedlings also pls visit nearest horticulture or agriculture department.

Thank you. You have suggested Sandal wood. I was considering Teak wood. Which is the best place to buy teakwood saplings around Chennai?
Also I want to know whether there are any methods to sustain water in the soil. Last summer I faced a lot of problem because of water shortage. I heard of Hydrogel. Cany any one tell me some details about how I can sustain water through out the year and also please tell me about hydrogel.

Thank you
