Sowing and planting : Sowing depends on temperature, rainfall, and availability of irrigation. The best time for sowing seeds in northern India is June-July, and the best time for sowing seeds in eastern India is November, February, and March. Seed rate: 10 g per hectare. The reason of the very low seed rate is its overall size. A seed rate of 200 g per hectare is sufficient for grafting purposes. Preparation of seedbed
