2. Vegetative Growth Phase: 1 lit of formulation + 200 lit water +  1.8 kg of Epsom salt one day before spraying per acre until plants are fully established.
3. Flowering and Pod Development Phase: 2 lit of formulation added to 300 lit of water + 2.7 kg of Epsom salt one day before spraying per acre from the onset of flowering until the pods are fully developed. formulation Spraying and formulation + FYM mixture ( 3 Lit of formulation is mixed with 100 Kg of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) per acre) addition can be done once per every two weeks during active growth periods.
