Growing Instructions for Singapore:

1. Soil Preparation: Use well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.
2. Sowing: Sow seeds directly in the garden or in containers. Plant seeds 0.5 cm deep and space 10-15 cm apart in rows 20-30 cm apart.
3. Germination: Maintain consistent moisture and a temperature of 18-25°C. Seeds typically germinate in 5-10 days.
4. Sunlight: Rocket salad prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
5. Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
6. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to support growth.
7. Maintenance: Harvest leaves when they reach 10-15 cm in length. Regular harvesting encourages new growth.

Pest and Disease Control:

• Monitor for common pests such as aphids and flea beetles. Use appropriate organic or chemical treatments as needed.
• Ensure good air circulation and avoid overcrowding to prevent fungal diseases.

Culinary Uses: Rocket salad is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Its peppery flavor makes it an excellent addition to fresh salads, sandwiches, and as a garnish. It can also be used in pesto, on pizzas, and in pasta dishes for a spicy kick.
