Agri Tips: Build a Trellis Right, Rope Stays Tight for 5 Years; Direction is Key!
- •Kumod Kumar, a leading farmer from Khaira block, Jamui, emphasizes scientific trellis construction for crops like cucumber, bitter gourd, and bottle gourd to improve production and quality.
- •Trellis height should be 6-7 feet for proper air and sunlight circulation; too low increases disease risk, too high makes care difficult.
- •Strong poles (bamboo, wood, iron, concrete) buried 1.5-2 feet deep are crucial; planting poles slightly tilted outwards prevents ropes from loosening for up to five years.
- •North-south trellis orientation ensures even sunlight distribution, promoting better growth, increased flowers and fruits, and improved vegetable quality.
- •Properly built trellises reduce disease and pest incidence by preventing moisture accumulation, leading to lower medicine costs and higher yields.
Why It Matters: Scientific trellis construction with correct height, strong tilted poles, and north-south orientation boosts yield and crop health.
