Yet in some areas it is found to be longer, then in some areas it is found shorter. Some areas have relatively higher elevations. Some plants are 1-year-old, some plants are also multi-year-old.

If we talk about fertilizers, then nitrogen fertilizers and phosphorus fertilizers are more needed for them. In which Save Potash and Phosphorus are put in the drains at the time of sowing. Nitrogen is also used in some quantities. If you have compost made of cow dung or rotten throat substances, then you should reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer.
