Weeding and staking:
 
Weeding, as and when required, followed by top dressing and raking up the earth will be necessary as the crop is of short duration and heavy fertilization is done. After 16-20 days, staking is done with wooden stakes of 2.4 metre length and 5 cm diameter held serially by galvanized iron wire, at top and bottom, with jute thread joining them. The vines should be manually trained to grow along the jute thread. Staking makes the plant stand straight, facilitates ventilation and makes all cultural operations, like weeding and harvesting, easier and faster. Vines with no stakes to climb on are more susceptible to diseases.
