Tamarind Cultivation - High Yielding Profitable Guide

The semi-arid tropical climate is best suited for Tamarind Cultivation, and it requires a temperature between 0 to 46 degrees celsius for optimum growth.

Deep loamy and alluvial soil with a soil pH level between 4.5 to 9 is best suited for the cultivation of Tamarind.

Sow the Tamarind seeds at a space of 25 cm. Then, for Tamarind transplanting, dug the pits of 1m X 1m X 1m size at a gap of 10m X 10m. 

Irrigation is given immediately after transplanting the seedlings. However, water is not provided in the rainy season, depending on the moisture content of the soil.

Tamarind gives output 8 years after planting, and hand-picking is recommended for proper harvesting.
