Leaving the traditional rules and cultivating research-based betel in the light of modern knowledge, one can earn 2/3 lakh rupees per year from 1 bigha of land. But due to the old method of betel cultivation, the farmers have nothing but to become poorer and poorer.

It is thought that Panlatai is the longest plant in the world.

Two-fiber soil is suitable for betel cultivation. It is necessary to cultivate betel by raising the soil from low lands. 1 bigha of land has to be cultivated by spraying 50/60 mana of organic manure. After 7 days, boil 1 kg of mulberry and 3 pounds of rock lime powder and sprinkle water on the land to irrigate. Then level the soil with a ladder and tighten the soil with frequent irrigation. Care should be taken while irrigating so that water does not go out of the land. Then you have to make waste with bamboo, poles, rugs etc. Betel cultivation takes up shady space.
