Experts' suggestions for cultivation of mentha (Japanese mint)

The best time of planting mentha is second fortnight of January. Use two quintals of freshly dug 5-8 cm long suckers for one acre. The suckers should be laid end-to-end in 45 cm apart furrows. Apply light irrigation after planting. Apply 10-15 tonnes farmyard manure, 33 kg urea and 100kg single superphosphate per acre at planting.
