Cardamom Cultivation Guidelines
Site Selection
Cardamom thrives at elevations between 600-1500 meters. Ideal conditions include well-draining soil rich in organic matter with pH 6.0-6.5, partial shade (40-50%), and protection from strong winds.
Planting Specifications
Plant cardamom at spacing of 2x2 meters. Ensure planting holes are 30x30x30cm, enriched with organic matter. Maintain proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Water Requirements
Cardamom plants need approximately 1500-4000mm of rainfall annually. Irrigation is necessary during dry periods, particularly during flowering and pod development stages.
Fertilization
Apply balanced NPK fertilizer (17:17:17) at 75g per plant, three times annually. Supplement with organic matter and micronutrients for optimal growth and yield.
Pruning and Maintenance
Regular pruning of old and diseased tillers is essential. Maintain 4-5 healthy tillers per clump. Remove spent flower spikes and dead leaves to prevent disease spread.
Harvesting
Harvest cardamom pods when they are fully mature but before they split open. Regular harvesting every 15-30 days during the season ensures optimal quality and yield.
