Propagation and Field Establishment
Propagation and Field Establishment Preparation of the land is the first step taken that lays the foundation for a decent yield of henna crops. This however, varies from one producer to the other. Usually, farmers plough the land one or two times for the opening of the soil surface. After deep ploughing, the land is left for a few days so as to expose it to enough air and sunlight. The entire area is then levelled using a gobble.

The seeds and cuttings are then subjected for multiplication in nurseries. The seed rate may greatly vary from one farm to the other. Ideally it ranges between 10 to 15 kg in 1 acre of land on an average. The size of henna nursery may range from a few plants to many acres of land.

Prior soaking of the seeds and cuttings in water accentuates the germination of seeds as they possess a tough outer coat. Soon after broadcasting, irrigation at regular intervals is necessary so that the plants are healthy and start germinating. This process is carried out for about 3 months after which they become ready for transplanting. Commonly, two methods are employed for sowing henna seeds. They include:

  • Growing on the ridges
  • Transplanting on the plain land
After the seedlings acquire a considerable height, they are sown back in the fields at an average distance of about 20 cm in order to facilitate a bushy growth.
