Apple cultivated at a temperature of 45 degrees in Kolhapur, a farmer in the sugarcane field successfully raised fruit
Often, the image of Himachal Pradesh or Kashmir will be in mind as soon as you take the name of Apple. If we tell you where there is a serious heat in Maharash, a farmer is successfully growing apple in his field, then you will also be surprised. But Kolhapur, who is southwest of Maharashtra, is growing apples in the village of Yalgood in Kolhapur and Kalakanangale taluk. The bright red apples growing on the sugarcane farm have become a hot topic. Kolhapur in Maharashtra is called the Heat Wave Belt. Here in the summer, the sun also ripens the earth and forces farmers to raise simple crops such as cane.
Apple is going on YouTube about cultivation
A small farmer Anil Mangwave is fulfilling one of his dreams by growing one of his dreams on half acres of land. Anil Mangwave, who received basic official education, is aware of Apple cultivation on YouTube three years ago. Since then, he has crossed the hobby of apple cultivation. According to the ETV report, he went to the village of Dahigaon near Akluz in Solapur and brought two types of Apple plants, Anna and G -9 from here. These plants can also withstand heat and stand up to 45 degrees Celsius.
What tricks are received for agriculture
Anil used 50 apple plants and used organic manure such as cow dung. Controlling the temperature is not in his hands but the water is in his hand. To keep the trees inactive in the winter, they stopped giving water in December. After this, the flowers began to blossom on the trees until spring. In April 2025 this year, 30 to 35 apples hang on their trees.
Mangwev was reluctant to take a risk with a fruitful plant. To give moisture to the soil and maintain it, they made the inter crop and made onion, garlic, peanuts and drumstick crops. In addition to maintaining moisture, these crops control the temperature and prevent soil cutting. All of these things can help to grow apple.
Anil Mangwane said, ‘When I grow a special crop, I have to prepare a plan b. I know that apple trees need a lot of attention. It is not enough to give only water and it is also necessary to maintain time and temperature. So I decided to grow inter crops.
The rest of the farmers were also given the idea
Mangaveve families are completely associated with agriculture. At the same time, his family is also professional in different fields. Most of the land is covered with a sugarcane crop. The remaining half acres of land is used for innovative farming. The family also raised saffron, mango, Guwa and Chiku. He hoped that the rest of the area would be inspired by the farmers to try different crops. Anil wants all farmers to use different fruit crops. If you want to increase their income from agriculture, then it is important to use it, he said.
