About the Product

Nutmeg – Pancharatna, an improved high-yielding selection of Myristica fragrans, is widely cultivated in Kerala for its superior quality nuts and mace production. It thrives well in Kerala’s warm and humid tropical climate, growing best in temperatures between 20°C to 35°C with well-distributed rainfall and high humidity. Pancharatna performs best in deep, fertile, well-drained loamy soil rich in organic matter and prefers partial shade during its early growth stage. Regular irrigation is essential during dry periods, while proper drainage must be ensured to prevent waterlogging and root diseases. With timely fertilization, mulching, and good management practices, this variety provides consistent and higher yields, making it ideal for homestead gardens and commercial spice cultivation in Kerala conditions.
