Paan belongs to the family of Piperaceae. There are more than 90 varieties of betel vine in the world, of which about 45 are found in India and 30 varieties in West Bengal itself. Betel leaf is grown in tropics and subtropics for its evergreen leaves that are used in Pooja/religious events and as a chewing stimulant. Betel leaf is grown as cash crop in southern parts of India, mostly in the states of AP, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. Betel leaf is also cultivated in Bihar, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Maharashtra, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. Paan / Betel leaves has good export potential and India exports betel leaves to the neighbouring countries. Climate required for Betel leaf farming Betel leaf grows very well in tropical climate with high rainfall and a shady places are the best for its vigorous growth. Soil requirement and preparation in Betel leaf farming Betel Leaf or Paan can be grown in wide range of soils such as sandy loam, heavy clayey loam. Supplementing the soil with good organic matter results best growth and higher yield. Soil should have good drainage as well. Land should be raised by 5 to 10 cm from the adjacent areas and soil should be prepared by 4 to 5 ploughings, providing proper drainage. Afterwards, field beds of sizes (15 cm height and 30 cm wide) are prepared. Soil should be sterilized thoroughly before planting the betel leaf cuttings Soil Sterilization in Betel Leaf farming when the soil temperature rises during the months March to May, soil is covered by polyethylene sheets in order to eradicate the inoculum of soil borne pathogens. Application of neem cake (0.5 tonnes/ha) or carbofuran @ 1.5kg/ha Plus carbofuran (0.75kg/ha) is also preferred to minimize early soil nematode population for new betel plantation. However, carbofuran should not be recommended or preferred in established betel plantations at any stage, because a time gap of 65 to 75 days as safe waiting period is mandatory between harvesting of betel leaves and the application. Best Season for Betel leaf plantation October month is best betel leaf planting season under open system cultivation. The monsoon season is ideal for planting betel leaves plants under closed system cultivation. However, planting season of betel leaves varies from state to state in India . PROPAGATION & LAND PREPARATION In betel leaf propagation, stem cuttings having 3 to 5 nodes are used and these are planted in such a fashion that 2 to 3 nodes are buried in the soil. A single node cutting with a mother betel leaf is also planted. Apical and middle portions cuttings of the betel vine are used for planting.
