To Increase Fruit Yield in Papaya

Details

Category	Crop Production
Crop	papaya
Crop Family	Caricaceae
Scientific Name	(Carica papaya)
Vernacular Name	Papita
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	The seedling of the papaya (Carica papaya) plant.
Details Of Innovation	Farmer follows a unique procedure to increase the production of papaya (Carica papaya). The papaya seedling is uprooted and sown at a different spot.

PAS 1	"Excessive vegetativegrowth adversely affects fruit setting while excessive fruit load reduces development of treecanopy. Skillful orchard management at this stage includes maintenance of optimum number of bearing branches as per the nutritional status and health of plant. Young trees tends tohave more vegetative growth, therefore, it has been observed that sometimes fruit productionis suppressed by excessive vegetative flushing particularly during autumn. Therefore, effectivemeasures like ringing, girdling, fostering of winter shoots, use of paclobutrazol, etc. can beapplied for proportional crop production." http://tmnehs.gov.in/writereaddata/Chap-8.pdf
