Raebareli Farmer Thrives with Pusa Hybrid-2 Bitter Gourd Net Cultivation

• Arunendra Kumar, a progressive farmer from Raebareli, earns significant profits by cultivating Pusa Hybrid-2 bitter gourd.
• He uses a 'net method' for cultivation, where bitter gourd vines are trained on nets supported by bamboo poles, preventing ground contact and damage.
• This method ensures bitter gourds grow longer and are protected from heavy rains, maintaining quality.
• Bitter gourd has consistent demand year-round due to its medicinal properties, making it more profitable than paddy and wheat.
• Arunendra sells his produce primarily in the Lucknow market, benefiting from the high demand in cities.
