The method of growing slanted papaya gives outstanding productivity

Mr. Nguyen Van Huynh (Khanh Hoa) said: "Papaya is enough to grow under normal methods, the trees grow high, it is very difficult to control pests and diseases, and often fall down when left, the productivity is low. trees will grow lower, flower and fruiting and give fruits a lot ".

Growing lean papaya for superior productivity

After many years of research, Mr. Nguyen Van Huynh (Phuoc Dien, Phuoc Dong village, Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa) has successfully experimented with the method of tilting papaya trees for high productivity. Mr. Huynh said: "If you grow enough to grow under the conventional method, the plants will grow taller, it is difficult to control pests, and you will often fall down when left, the productivity will be low. And when the plants are planted, the plants will grow lower. fruit and flowers and give fruits a lot ".

The purpose of planting tilted papaya is to lower the height of the tree to easily manage, control and control the pest situation, take good care of the trees from the stage of pruning, pruning and adjusting the fruit accordingly. want to get high productivity.

In particular, the trees create a little fall in the rainy season, easy to resist, reduce labor, reduce costs, easy to harvest. According to Mr. Huynh, the process is simple and easy to do: When planting, placing pots and papaya are horizontal on the ground and must be swept towards the annual monsoon. After planting, use plugs to lift the tops of trees for up.

When the papaya grows up, the base is tilted against the ground at an angle of about 45 degrees. Papaya trees to the left will be very low, can hit the ground. Compared with straight papaya trees, only average 55kg / tree / year, papaya (Taiwan) cultivates on average 72kg / tree / year.

A sufficiently planted papaya has many times higher yield than conventional planting.(Illustration)

In addition, farmers need to pay attention to techniques of caring and fertilizing science to achieve good yields. Basal fertilizing requires 1-2kg of bio-organic fertilizer, 200gr of lime. Plants aged 1 month after planting: 50gr NPK fertilizer 16-12-8-11 + TE. Mix in 10 liters of water, water the plants, 1 week for 1 time. Plants from 1-3 months old after planting: The amount of fertilizer calculated for 1 tree: 50-100gr / 1 time. Apply 15-20 times a day.

Plants from 3 to 7 months after planting fertilizer: The amount of fertilizer calculated for 1 tree: 100-150gr NPK 12-12-17-9 + TE, once a month. By the 6th month, it is possible to apply 1kg of organic compost HG01 and 100gr of lime to a tree, combine with the original. Can spray more foliar fertilizer. Spray periodically 3 -4 weeks / time according to the concentration, according to information from vinacalusa.com.vn.

Papaya is a plant that needs a lot of water but is very afraid of waterlogged. Therefore, it is necessary to provide adequate water for plants in the dry season and good drainage for the trees in the rainy season or when flooding occurs. Be aware of weeding for plants, weeds compete for nutrition and provide shelter for pests and diseases, making them often around the root. Farmers need to use straw or dry grass around the root in the dry season to keep the moisture and keep the right temperature for the tree.
