Diara land cultivation of cucurbitaceous crops

Abstract

In the present time when there is a constant pressure on the land mass exerted by rapidly increasing population and there is negligible scope to expand the cultivable land horizontally, diara land or riverbed are in focal point for growing vegetable crops specially cucurbits, as these stretches of lands have not been optimally utilized till now, which is extensively available in the country and can be exploited with scientific interference for growing cucurbits to supplement the total vegetable production.
