Vegetables
Vegetable crops demand continuous, balanced feeding. Urvar's program builds a rich root zone, sustains vegetative growth, and improves flowering and fruit set with boron and humic formulations.
Season schedule
What to apply, and when
Stage timing comes from agricultural-university research (cited). Doses are Urvar's own label doses, shown per katha with bigha and acre equivalents.

Field preparation
FYM and vermicompost are worked into the field at preparation, and bio-fertilisers are mixed into the soil before transplanting. In BCKV tomato trials, half the recommended fertiliser plus vermicompost, FYM and bio-fertiliser gave the highest yield and quality.

Spot it, fix it
General symptoms that apply across crops. Confirm with a soil or leaf test before treating.2
Growing points develop abnormally; the tips become stunted and die, and flowers and fruits may abort.
Upper leaves show interveinal chlorosis, eventually whitening. Leaves may be small and distorted, in a rosette form.
Growth is slow and stunted, and older leaves turn purple, especially on the underside.

How do I convert a per-katha dose to bigha or acre?
