Seeding Process:
1. Before planting the seed, soak the seed in warm water for 5-10 minutes, then cool down the seed itself for 5-10 minutes again.
2. Also soak the seed with Organic Pesticides.
3. Soak the seed again with Tricoderma, PGPR() and an organic mixture for 10-12 hours. The composition of all three solutions should be in a 1: 1: 1 ratio.
4. Then proceed to cool down until a white liquid is gone.
Seedling Process:
1. Two weeks before Seedling, prepare the seedling media which is a combination of sand, compost, dirt and charcoal husks.
Mix the mixture until it is homogeneous in a 1:1:1:1 ratio.
Spray the media with Organic Pesticides for 3 days.
Put the Tricoderma, PGPR and organic mixture together with the mixture above for two weeks.
2. Prepare the tray and put the homogeneus media.
Plant the seeds in the tray with preferably one or two seeds for a five centimetre diameter.
Close the tray with a soft media.
Be sure to water the plants routinely but not excessively.

Ground Treatment:
Ground Treatment is also done two weeks before planting.
1. The ground dirt is mixed with a rotary tractor.
2. Then create a 120 centimetre square to lay it out on.
3. Also spread the composite using 10 kilograms of compost for every meter.
4. Spray the pesor on the mixture, let it stay for three days, then mix it with the Tricoderma mixture.
Planting:
1. The seed is planted when the seed already has one or two leaves coming out or after 14 days of seedling.
2. The optimal range for planting one seed is 20 centimetres x 20 centimetres.
3. After that spray the plants with a Vegetative POC.
Growth of Plant:
1. Water the plants daily when small. Although when it is larger it should be watered two or three times daily. it is recommended to use a hose for planting.
2. Spray the plants weekly with the Vegetative POC with a ratio of 10cc for every litre of water. This is to get rid of the pests.
3. If the plant is near the seedbed already has weeds, clean the weeds by taking out the grass so that no roots grow further.
Harvest:
1. Between twenty-five and thirty-five days the plant can be harvested. The more days it stays in the ground the larger the plant itself.
2. Harvesting is simple, just take the roots out of the ground and it is done!
