Castor is an oilseed crop that is grown for its seeds, which are the source of castor oil. The cultivation of castor involves the following steps:

2. Seed selection: Choose high-quality, disease-free seeds for planting. The seeds should have a high germination rate, usually around 85-90%.

3. Land preparation: The land should be plowed and harrowed several times to provide a smooth and even seedbed.

4. Sowing: Castor seeds can be sown directly in the field or in seedbeds. The seeds are sown 2-3 cm deep and spaced 30-60 cm apart.

5. Irrigation: Castor requires adequate moisture throughout its growth cycle. It is important to ensure the soil is kept moist, but not waterlogged, to prevent root rot.
