“Red Lady” papaya (Carica papaya) is a high yielding Mexican variety which is very delicious in taste and beneficial for health. It is usually football in shape, that can produce 50 to 120 fruits per plant with an average of 80-100 kilograms, each fruit measuring up to 15 inches long and weighing as much as 2 kilo’s. It takes only 5 months to give fruits and 8-9 months to pluck the fruit from the plant.

Field preparation : Papaya seedlings are planted in pits of 2ft × 2ft size. The pits are prepared 15 days before planting and pit should be filled with top soil along with 5kg farmyard manure 1 kg neem or karanja cake to get tall and vigorous growth. The distance between each papaya plant must be 7x6 or 7x8 feet. There must be 1100 papaya plants per acre. Since papaya does not withstand water logging; a well-drained upland should be selected for its cultivation. Do not grow any other crop with papaya and do not grow papaya with any other crop. After three months of planting, paint the plants with copper sulphate (COC) or lime below the fruits height to get healthy fruits. Apply 100 gm of complete fertilizer (NPK 14:14:14) every 14 days during the growing season for papaya plants younger than 7 months old. Apply 500-750 grams of fertilizer every other month during the growing season for plants older than 7 months. Provide micronutrients according to plant size.

Medicinal uses: It is rich in vitamins A, C, Mg, iron and calcium. it also contain papain, an enzyme that soothes the stomach and aids in the digestion of protein.

Bananas are the most important among the tropical fruits and India is one a major producer of bananas. Thus there are many indigenous cultivars localized mostly in Southern India. With great knowledge about commercially important edible banana cultivars, Nanjanagudu rasabale (one among “Silk” varieties) is being conserved and multiplied by tissue culture method. We took up research task of virus elimination followed by micropropagation resulting in the production of several thousand clonal plants and testing them under field conditions. The tissue culture plants produced good quality fruits and the plants grew without any symptoms of virus infection for over 5-years.

Advantages of Tissue culture :

• High market value
• High yield and quality
• Early maturity
• Free from diseases
• Uniform growth of fruits

 
Uses of Nanjangud Rasabale :

• Nanjangud Rasabale is a king of banana is an important source of Vitamins and fibre
• Improves the haemoglobin level
• Prevents kidney stones
• Cures ulcers
• It is also known for the stress reliever  which helps in controlling the heart rate    `

Characteristic features of the plant

• Plant grows to a height of 6.5 to 7.5 Feet.
• Bunches can be harvested within eleven to twelve months from the date of planting only through tissue culture techniques.

• Each bunch will be having 12 to 16 hands with 225 to 275 number of fruits.
• Length of the fruit is 10.5-12 mm; Girth of the fruit is 5.5-6 mm in size.

Soil and crop spacing

• Grows well in wide range of soils except very sandy and heavy black soil with
• poor drainage. Alluvial, clay having plenty of organic carbon and well drained
• soil is suited for banana plantations.
• Recommended spacing: 6x6 feet; 6x5 feet; 7x5 feet
• Harvesting: 11-12 months
• Average yield per acre: 40-45 tons.

Medicinally importance of G9 banana

• One banana a day keeps always the doctors away
• G9 Banana is rich in tryptophan, which helps our body to converts into serotonin known to make you relax and generally make you feel happier.

• G9 Bananas are said to control depression, anemia (because of high iron content), blood pressure (because the fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt), reducing the risk of stroke.

• G9 banana have a capacity to balance blood sugar levels
• G9 banana neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation in the stomach;
• G9 contains B6, B12 vitamins along with potassium and magnesium which helps the body to maintain blood pressure.

• G9 Banana is more nutritive than Apple. Banana has twice the carbohydrates,
• Three times more phosphorous, four times more protein, five times more vitamin A and iron

Why to grow Tissue culture banana plants?

Uniform growth of plants and fruits

Plants are free from diseases and always healthy

Crop is ready for harvest in 11 to 12 months from plantations

More yield, more profit

Plantation can be possible through out the year
