Lavender Cultivation Tips for Indian Farmers

Climate and Location

Lavender thrives in sunny, dry regions. Ideal temperatures range between 15-30°C. Choose well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5.

Soil Preparation

Ensure soil is well-drained and sandy. Add organic matter. Use raised beds in areas with heavy rainfall.

Watering and Fertilizing

Lavender prefers dry conditions. Water sparingly, avoid overhead watering, and use balanced fertilizer.

Pruning

Prune lavender in spring to promote growth. Remove dead stems and trim for shape.

Harvesting

Harvest when half the buds open. Cut stems after dew evaporates and hang upside down to dry.
