Hi I am Vinayak from Bangalore. I have 1 acre of land near Tiptoor in Karnataka. I have got drip irrigation also. I am interested in cultivating papaya over this land. I am investing on the details like which type of papaya is good, either Taiwan 786 or Red Lady. Which variety is currently doing well in the market? What are the other things which i need to keep in mind in choosing which variety of papaya to cultivate?
