What is the Polyhouse requirement for Carnation Flower Growing?
If you are growing carnations under a protected environment for good quality, the Polyhouse/greenhouse construction should be kept as simple as possible by meeting required conditions for the right climate. The plastic greenhouse should be constructed to have 3 to 4 m3 of airspace per m2 of the floor surface. This should be equal to a gutter height of 2.5 meters to 3.5 meters as a minimum. Avoid too low greenhouse constructions as there will be high air humidity and high temperature. Don’t construct too large Polyhouse/greenhouse under one roof as this crop requires good sunlight (ventilation) and climate control. The roofing material could be Low-Density Polyethylene and should be replaced once in 3 years.
What is the Climatic Requirement for Carnation Flower Growing?
The carnation crop requires cool climatic conditions, low humidity, and long days with high light intensity. The standard carnation variety prefers a cooler climate than the spray cultivars. Carnations are long-day plants with high light requirements to yield high-quality flowers. Usually, they require minimum light of 22000 Lux for the required photosynthesis of carnations. The ideal day temperatures of 18°C to 25°C, night temperature of 10°C to 15°C, and relative humidity of 70 to 75 % are ideal for carnation flower growing.
What are the different Varieties or types of Carnations?
Carnation cultivars are mainly divided into 3 categories/groups depending upon flower size and their use. They are Standard carnation, Spray carnation and Micro carnation. Standard carnations have a single large flower on an individual stem of the plant and mostly used as cut flowers. Spray carnation are small and compact and generally a bunch of flowers on short branches of a single stalk. Micro carnations have shorter stems and higher production than spray cultivars. These carnations are mostly used as ornamental pot plants other than using in flower decorations.
How staking is done in carnation?
Carnation plants can bend as they grow. Hence, they require proper support for vertical growth. Supporting material like is metallic wire woven with nylon mesh can be considered.

What is the Agro-Climatic Conditions required for Sesame Farming?
This crop can be cultivated at the elevations up to 1250 m. Sesame crop does not grow in frost conditions. Prolonged drought (or) heavy rains are not favorable conditions for its cultivation. Sesame crop is a tropical crop and this crop requires hot conditions during its growth period for best yield. Ideal temperature for sesame cultivation is between 25 °C -30 °C. Extreme low and very high temperatures effect the growth.
Which Soil is suitable for Sesame Farming?
The sesame crop grown as summer crop, Kharif crop and also as semi-rabi crop. Sesame thrives well on soils with neutral reaction (or) slightly acidic type. There should not be any water stagnation in the soil, so make sure soil is well drained and light loamy soil for better growth performance. The preferred soil pH range of sesame crop is 5.5 to 8.0. Saline soils or too much sandy soils are not suitable for sesame cultivation. Adding well rotten Farm Yard Manure to the soil is beneficial in getting higher yields.
What are the high yielding varieties of rice?
