==How to plant/cultivate==
Soil preparation should be deep, about 20 cm, and thorough. Seed, 11–22 kg/ha depending upon the soil, is drilled about 15 cm by 15 cm at beginning of rainy season, mid-April in India, planting to a depth of about 0.5 cm. Broadcasting is not recommended because of uneven stand, land, and hence lack of uniformity in fiber. <ref name="How to plant/cultivate"/>
