The farmer explains how the scheme worked, what he paid, how he planned his spacing and water management, and what new farmers should know before starting. KEY TAKEAWAYS Government support: 90% subsidy on plants, primary fertilizers and drip system. The farmer paid only 10%, which came to Rs. 22,000 for 4 acres. The main pipeline cost is borne by the farmer. Spacing: 9m x 9m square planting, about 50 plants per acre and 200 plants on 4 acres. Why the farmer chose square over diagonal planting, and how wider spacing helps airflow, tractor movement and intercropping. Growth: Plants were set in February. Stabilisation takes at least six months, and a delayed first fertilizer dose slowed early growth. Water management: The farm sits below the Nagarjuna Sagar canal, which caused heavy seepage. A trench around the field drains excess water into a farm pond. Farm pond: 9m x 9m, about 9 feet deep, dug manually. It supports the borewell, serves as a backup water source, and the farmer plans to add fish for extra income. Automation: Mobile-based IoT motor control costing only Rs. 7,000, with scheduling, automatic power-cut adjustment and a sand filter to protect the drip lines. Security: CC camera monitoring so the farm can be watched remotely, plus full fencing around the 4 acres. Intercropping: Vetiver, medicinal plants in grow bags, and sheep rearing to earn income during the first three years. Harvest timeline: Fruit bunches come after about 3 years, with strong yields from the 4th year and regular monthly cutting. Marketing: Bunches are taken to the mandal centre, where agriculture officials arrange supply to the oil mill. Farmers near a mill can also sell directly. Field lesson: A brinjal plant growing beside a young oil palm blocked its light and air and stunted it. Remove such competing plants early.
