The Field Architecture: 4 Hectare Model
In Raipur district, Chhattisgarh, progressive grower Sunil Patel planted 4 hectares of Taiwan Pink Guava at 3.5m x 2.5m spacing.
Between the 3.5-meter guava rows, he installed 2 paired raised beds of hybrid green and red capsicum on silver-black mulch, utilizing existing drip fertigation lines.
Financial Returns Breakdown
While the guava orchard was developing its framework, the capsicum intercrop produced 34 tonnes of quality bell peppers in winter, generating ₹5,20,000 in net profit.
By Year 3, the orchard generated both guava fruit harvests (₹14 Lakh) and vegetable returns, completely amortizing the initial plantation, drip, and fencing expenditures.
