Papaya in India is such a fruit and its need is always from cities to villages. Due to its taste, juice and medicinal properties, papaya is not only a fruit, but also in the form of salads, vegetables, koftas, jam and pickle. It is considered to be very beneficial in the stomach, liver and heart -related diseases. Because of this, papaya cultivation has become a beneficial option for farmers. Especially if you start this in April, you can get good yields and profit. Papaya cultivation requires a relatively low demand for water and care, which is a highly profitable crop at low cost. Another specialty of the papaya is that once the plant is planted, you are constantly getting fruit for two years.
Nursery
Dr. Rajendra Prasad’s Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Bihar’s Dr. Rajendra Prasad, said, “The first plants are prepared in the nursery for papaya cultivation, said the head of the plant security department at the Central Agricultural University. They can also be grown in polythene bags. April and May are considered ideal for transplantation in North India. In areas with good irrigation facilities, planting can be planted in September-October or February-March.
Choosing and preparing the farm
In North India, clay soil, good sunlight and drainage land is suitable for papaya. There is no waterproof in the field, which is very important because the roots can rot. It is also necessary to choose a safe place from the strong wind, as the roots of the papaya are shallow. After soil testing, add organic fertilizer or rotten dung manu. Plow the violin soil to a depth of 1 foot so that it is well organized. Dig 1 feet x 1 feet x 1 feet shaped pits and leave in the sun for 15 days. After this, fill the half of each cavity with 5 grams of caropuran and 25-30 g of DAP.
Convert
Choose healthy, disease-free and 6-8 inches tall plants with 3-4 leaves. Give water to the plants a day before planting, then remove the polythene and apply it in the center of the cavity. Perform light water by filling the cavity with the rest of the soil. Keep a distance of 1.8 meters between the plants so that they get enough space. Transfer in the morning or in the evening so that the plants do not get shocking of the temperature.
How much and when to give fertilizer
In the early days, it is necessary to provide adequate water to plants, but avoids giving more water. It is beneficial to accept the drip irrigation system. Maintain moisture or dry leaves around the plants and protect against weeds. Give 25-30 kg of well-rotted cow dung fertilizer and 1-2 kg neem or mystery compost. In addition, give 200-250 g nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium every 2 or 3 months. Use organic pesticides and analyze regular studies to prevent insects such as aphids, whiteflies and fruit flies.
Mathematics of yields and profits
After planting 9-10 months of papaya, the first can be broken and the fruits get fruit for 2 years. A plant can give fruit from 80 kg to 1.5 quintals. Pawan Chauhan, who lives in Borgon, Kandwa (Madhya Pradesh), has made millions of profits from papaya cultivation by planting 700-750 saplings per acre. If farmers accept traditional varieties such as Busa Telescus, Busa Dwarf, Busa Nanha or Surya and Mayuri, 10-12 lakh net profits can be made at a cost of about Rs 1.5 lakh in two years.
