Cultivation of off-season cucumber
Cucumber has been traditionally cultivated by Naga farmers in their jhum fields as a mixed crop during the Kharif season (April to August). It is one of the important component crops in the Jhum field and the crop is used, mostly for household consumption and sometimes sold at the local market. Kharif crops of cucumber are harvested during rainy seasons and do not fetch a good price due to large production during the peak season. Besides there is high market demand of cucumber during off season but efforts were not made by the farmers to cultivate off season cucumber.
