Drip System Recommendation From Premier Range:

Crop Spacing (m)	Soil Type	Product Selection Premier Range	Lateral Spacing (m)	Emitter Spacing (m)	Emitter Discharge (1ph)	Emitter per Plant
1.2 x 0.60	Clay	Drip-InTM/In-Drip	1.20	0.50	2lph/4lph	n/a
1.2 x 0.50	Loam	Drip-InTM/In-Drip	1.20	0.40	2lph/4lph	n/a
1.2 x 0.40	Sandy	Drip-InTM/In-Drip	1.20	0.40	2lph/4lph	n/a

Fertilizer Recommendation :

Chilly	N-P-K dose kg/ha
Farmyard manure	9 to 10 tones/hectare of FYM or compost is applied at the time of field preparation
Fertilizer	For Irrigated chilies, 100 kg N, 50kg P & 50 kg K is generally applied per hectare. Micronutrients as per soil analysis deficit.
Dosage	Fertilizers are applied in four equal doses. First is applied at the time transplanting remaining doses are applied at 4th, 11th & 13th week after transplanting.
