Jackfruit Farming

Jackfruit can be grown in all types of soils. Light soils having good drainage are best for Jackfruit cultivation.

Jackfruit plants can grown from seeds and also from saplings

If you can propagate the seeds directly in soil, or in a plastic grow bag. 

Cut open your Jackfruit and then remove a seed. The seeds should stay moist when buried. Place the seed about half an inch below the center of the grow bag, and then irrigate them.

Seeds will start germinating in weeks time and will develop new leaves.

You can transplant the plants after 6 to 1 year or when several roots peek through the drainage holes of the grow bag.

Water the tree thoroughly to allow the soil to settle

Jackfruit trees require weekly watering during normal days and during rainy season you may not need irrigation.

If the Jackfruit tree are over watered, their leaves will turn yellow and drop off.

Use drip irrigation to keep plants consistently and evenly watered

Once mature, Jackfruit trees develop more drought tolerance

Ensure Mulching around the plants can help to retain moisture

Reduce watering once fruits are growing

Jackfruit responds well to fertilizer that is righ nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Balanced mix of nutrients will ensure your lemon trees have access to all the macro nutrients to grow strong and healthy and to produce good yield

Fertilize the Jackfruit immediately after the plants start flowering

Liquid Fertilizer like Fish Amino or Jeevamartham can be diluted in water can be applied through drip irrigation 

When Jackfruit appear yellow or yellowish-green, and have two to three inches in size, they will be ready to harvest

You want to grab the Jackfruit firmly in your hand and gently twist it until it breaks free from the tree.

Make sure not to pull in the Jackfruit as this can damage the fruit as well as the tree.
