7. Land Preparation
The field is ploughed 3-4
times to get a fine tilth.
Before last ploughing well
decomposed FYM is applied
@ 20 t/ha.
Pit size of 30 x30x30 cm is
dug one to two months before
planting at a spacing of 1.2 to
1.5 m.

seeds.
For raising seedlings,
well-ripe fruits are
collected from high-
yielding plants.

11. Pest of Curry Leaf
Pests Symptoms Management
Citrus butterfly Caterpillars are attacked tender
leaves and feed on the
epidermis.
Making silvery appearance
presence on the lower surface
of leaves.
Leaves – distorted and crinkled.
Severe attack caused
defoliation.
Hand picking and destruction of
the larvae and spray
malathian@ 1 ml/ lit.
Psyllid bug and scale Psyllids are mottled brown
insects that feed directly on
the leaf of the curry leaf tree.
This causes damage to the
leaves and stems, and can also
introduce bacteria to the tree
Psyllid bug and scales can be
controlled by spraying
dimethoate@ 1 ml/lit.

12. Disease of Curry leaf
Disease Symptoms Management
Leaf spot It may cause
early loss of
leaves in case of
severe
infestation.
The irregular,
round, yellowish
brown lesions
are produced on
leaves.
Leaf spot
disease can
be controlled
by spraying
Carbendazim
@ 1 g/lit of
water.
Spraying
Sulphur
compounds
should be
avoided.

13. Harvesting and Yield
At the end of first year 250-400 kg of leaves/ha can
be harvested.
In II year: Once in 4 months every time 1800 kg/ha
which would work out to 5400 kg/ha/year
III year: Yield 5400 kg/ha
IV year: 2500 kg/ha once in 3 months which would
work out to 10,000 kg/ha/year
V year onwards: 5000 kg/ha once in 3 months which
work out to 20,000 kg/ha/year
