1. Maturity TimePapaya usually matures between September and October, but proper care techniques can help promote fruiting. The flowers should be picked off in the first two years of planting. In the spring of the third year, apply pre-flowering fertilizer, fruit enlargement fertilizer and autumn fertilizer. Before flowering, mainly apply urea and compound fertilizer, which can increase the fruit setting rate. When the fruit expands, the amount of fertilizer should be greatly increased. In autumn, fertilizers are mainly applied in the form of soil, miscellaneous fertilizers and ammonium nitrate, so as to prepare for a good harvest next year. 2. How to identify1. Look at the color: The easiest way to determine whether the papaya is ripe is to look at the color. Although the color of the plant will vary depending on the variety, it is generally mature when it turns dark yellow, and if there are spots on the skin, it can better indicate its degree of maturity. 2. Smell: In addition to looking at the color, smelling the smell is also a good way to identify. Papaya itself has a fragrance, which becomes stronger as it matures. If it is still relatively raw, you can hardly smell it. 3. Press the belly: The last method to check whether the papaya is ripe is also very practical. That is to press the belly of the fruit. If it feels soft, it means it is ripe, but if it feels hard, it is not ripe yet. In addition, it should bounce back when you press it. If there is a pit when you press it, it means the fruit is overripe. This kind of fruit is not only difficult to preserve, but also has the risk of rotting, so it is usually not recommended to be eaten. 3. Papaya pictures |
