HI

PApaya is a tropical plant. The temperature varies between 25 to 30 degree celcius.

Spacing followed 3m x 2 m.
To minimise flower shedding or fruit shedding irrigate the land before the soil become dry.

Diseases

Fruit rot- occurs in humid tempertaures,.

Boron deficiency is seen in sandy , gravel soils.

For other technical details please visit the nearest horticulture department.

Papaya

3m X 2 m is wide
Only 675 plants can be planted in one acre

For Red lady dwarf optimum spacing is 8feet X 6feet ie. 2.4m X 1.8m
Total plants are 900/acre

Use drip irrigation to apply exact quantity of water and fertilizer as per requirements only

From each tree 60-80kg fruits can be obtained

Ashwini and Girish Thanks for your input.

I have 2 acre in my village and 0.5 acre in bangalore city, so planning to plant.
Is it good idea to plant in bangalore city. 0.5 acre is not used for any thinge except some flower plants for home use.

For Ashwini and Girish
1. what is the measurement of manhole to be digged and any fertilizer is required while filling.
2. After irregating the land before plantation, how many days we need to wait to plant. Is it require to do soil testing.

For Surya
2. From where are you purchasing the plants, are they good? Please let me know the contacts.

Great thanks All!!

Hi Ashwini,

I had recently visited Indian Instittue Research Arg in Hessarghat(bangalore) enquiring about red lady. But they do not have plants/promise us on how much we get the yield for this.

Instead they suggested to plant SURYA vareity, do you have any idea about this. How is the market for this. I heard from them it is more Sweeter 14% than REDLADY, but it weights around 600-800 gms. Means over all yield will be less for commercial.

Any Suggestions...

Thanks
