Grow 'Spicy Profits' in Winter: Chili Cultivation in Dec-Jan Promises Bumper Earnings

• Agricultural experts advise cultivating green chilies in December-January for early harvest and high profits when market supply is low.
• Use plastic mulching and low tunnels to protect crops from frost and maintain the ideal temperature of 15-30°C for growth.
• Key steps include soil testing, treating nursery plants with Carbendazim, balanced fertilization, and proper spacing (60cm rows, 45cm plants).
• Early cultivation reduces pest/virus incidence, ensures high demand and better prices in summer, and saves water due to extended irrigation.
• Recommended varieties for high yield and disease resistance include VNR-305, Seminis Navtej, Arka Khyati, Syngenta 5531, and Kashi Anmol.

Why It Matters: December-January chili cultivation with proper techniques ensures early harvest, high prices, and bumper profits.
