Pollination by humans Performed 2-7 weeks old plants in the female flowers that are repressive (the female flowers are ready for pollinated by male pollen). Characteristic of repressive interest is the stigma open, the color of the anthers reddish and slimy.
Pests and Diseases Pest a. Mite Pests Cause: red mite (Oligonychus). Parts attacked are the leaves. Symptoms: The leaves become shiny and colorful bronz. Control: Spray or Natural PESTONA BVR.
b. Caterpillars Setora Cause: Setora nitens. The part that is attacked is the leaves. Symptoms: leaves eaten so that the remaining lidinya only.
Disease a. Root Blast Cause: Rhizoctonia lamellifera and Phythium Sp. Section attacked the roots. Symptoms: sudden death in the nursery seedlings, mature plants withered and died, there was a root decay. Control: making a good seedbed, the provision of irrigation water in the dry season, the use of old seedlings of more than 11 months. Prevention by the use of Natural GLIO.
b. Yellow Lines Cause: Fusarium oxysporum. Section attacked leaves. Symptoms: pale yellow oval circle around the brown color in the leaves, dry leaves. Control: inoculation of disease on seedlings and young plants. Prevention by the use of Natural GLIO since the beginning.
c. Dry Basal Rot Cause: Ceratocyctis paradoxa. Attacked stem section. Symptoms: brittle stem, leaf rot and dry; young leaves die and dry. Control: is to plant seeds that had been inoculated disease. Note: If the pest and disease control by using natural pesticides can not cope with the recommended use of chemical pesticides.
Harvest Began to bear fruit after 2.5 years and 5.5 months after pollination cook. Can be harvested if the crop has been aged 31 months, at least 60% fruit ripe harvest of 5 trees there are a bunch of ripe fruit harvest.
