Introduction:\u00a0<\/strong>Gherkin is a term generally used to refer to a savoury pickled cucumber. Gherkins grown and pickled in India are almost wholly exported, there being no domestic market for them. For farmers they have spelt a silent revolution. Tens of thousands of small and medium sized farms across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have been converted to growing gherkins, a cash crop that has emerged as possibly the biggest success in India’s agro-export story.<\/p>\nSoil:\u00a0<\/strong>Well-drained sandy loam with a pH range of 6.0 to 6.8 is optimum.<\/p>\nClimate:\u00a0<\/strong>Gherkins can grow all around the year, but should try and avoid sowings during April – May & October November to avoid spraying of excessive chemicals.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>
