For perennial cultivars, pit size of about 45×45×45 cm is dug at every 6×6 meter spacing while for annual cultivars, pits are dug at 2.5×2.5 meter spacing. For farming of drumstick leaves, 1.0×1.0 meter spacing can be maintained. Each pit is filled with a well-mixed mixture of soil, 10-15 kg FYM or compost along with 100 gm of nitrogen, 200 gm of phosphorus and 50 gm of potassium before the onset of the monsoon. Tips for growing Drumstick: Soak the seeds for 24 hours and dry them in the shade before planting for early germination. Plant the seedlings in a big container and place it indoors for cold climate regions. Drumstick needs well-drained soils with 6-7 pH values. Flowering happens once in a year or twice in a year. Pruning if left unchecked, they grow fast and reach 40 feet in a few years. Harvest drumstick pods when they are immature and tender, about half an inch in diameter. For fresh greens, harvest young seedlings, growing tips, and young leaves. For dried leaf powder, harvest older leaves. Suitable Region/season: March to May July to October
