Jackfruit dwarfing planting technology and management How to dwarf the jackfruit tree

Jackfruit is a very popular fruit variety in recent years. Its origin is India, so it is suitable for surviving in hot and humid climate conditions. Therefore, jackfruit is mainly distributed in tropical areas in southern my country, such as Hainan and other regions.

Dwarfing planting of jackfruit

1. Reproduction

Jackfruit can be propagated by seed, mainly with mature fruits, and then placed on a prepared sand bed for cultivation. Be careful not to expose the seeds directly to the air, and cover them with fine sand and a pile of straw to facilitate the breathing of the fruit.

2. Germination

The germination time of jackfruit is relatively short, and it usually takes about a week to take root and grow new shoots. Wait until the shoots are good before inserting it.

3. Treatment before transplanting

After the new roots are dug out, they can be soaked for a period of time to allow them to grow new lateral roots, so as to ensure that they have strong vitality after transplantation.

If you do not want to use this method, you can use the bud grafting method. This method is best used in the rainy season, because this is the season when the plant grows fastest, so the survival rate is extremely high and countless.

The specific method is mainly to break off the old branches, ensure the humidity of the surrounding environment during storage, and then connect them as soon as possible.

4. Management points

Jackfruit also has certain requirements for the environment. The most suitable temperature for its growth is between 13-22 degrees. Therefore, even if the planting area is in the south, the sowing season must be ensured. If the temperature is very high, it is not suitable for its growth. At the same time, sufficient precipitation must be ensured during the season.

Jackfruit dwarfing management

1. Temperature

Jackfruit prefers a higher temperature environment, and will not grow well in a low temperature environment. If the temperature is around zero degrees, it is likely to be frostbitten, so it is not suitable for planting in the north. The average temperature for growth is about 21 degrees, and there is no need to cool down in the hot summer weather, it can fully adapt.

2. Watering

During the flowering period, if water is not applied in time, the newly opened flowers will fall off in large numbers, and the fruit will be affected by the long-term drought. At the same time, the fruit flesh will become thinner, shriveled, and without moisture.

3. Lighting

It needs sufficient sunlight to grow. It is a full-day plant. If there is insufficient light, the plant will grow too tall, and the side branches will absorb most of the nutrients and will not function normally. It should be allowed to receive eight hours of sunlight every day so that its growth is not affected.

4. Fertilization

The amount of fertilizer used should be determined according to the growth of the plant. Nitrogen should be applied during the spring growing season to promote growth rate, and farmyard manure should be applied during the fruit-bearing period. This will make the fruit grow larger and the branches and leaves of the plant will not turn yellow due to lack of nutrition.
