A. Black Pepper :

For rapid multiplication of black pepper a soil mound technique has been recommended. In this technique a soil mound of the size 2.5 x 0.60 cm (45 Degree Angle) is prepared. The rooted cuttings of black pepper are planted at the base of this mound at 15 cm distance. The irrigation is provided by overhead sprinklers. A vigorous growth of black pepper on the mound results in 73 rooted cuttings per vine per year.

B. Disease Control :

Black Pepper: For control of quick and slow wilt the following package of practices are recommended
1. 1% Bordeaux spray twice during June at 15 days interval.
2. Application of 1 kg Neem Cake + 50 grams Trichoderma Viride per vine in the last week of June and September.
