3 to 4 meters between rows. 

Growing papayas from seeds

It is better to use loamy sand with little bit of peat moss and prepare good planting mixture. It should be free from fungi or germs which can badly effect to seeds germination.

Spacing can arrange 2 inch between row & plants Put 2 seeds to a hole.

Keep the small plants moist.

You can only tell which trees are female and which are male when the trees start to flower. Therefore, you should always have more than one tree per hole, because then you can select the female trees.

Sprouting takes from 15 days to six weeks or longer for some strange reason.

Planting

· Dig a hole about twice the size of the bag in which the young tree is growing.

· Remove the soil from the hole and add some compost and manure. Mix this with some of the soil that has been dug out.

· Take the plant out of the container. If it is a plastic container you just cut it open at the side.

· Do not disturb the roots.

· Place the tree in the center of the hole. When you fill up the hole hold the tree so that its base is level with the surrounding ground.

· Raise the soil around the tree to dam the water (rain or irrigation)

· Do not plant the tree deeper than it was in the container.

·Do not cover the stem with soil because it will rot.

Water

·  Papayas need little water.

·  They will, however, give more and bigger fruit if they are watered every 2 weeks in the dry season. The flowers will drop if they do not get enough water.

· If they are planted in clay soils, make sure that the soil does not stay too wet.

· To avoid waterlogging in clay soil, make a ridge and plant the papayas on the ridge.


Fertilization

Compost or manure

Give the high grown tree

· 1 bucketful in September,
· 1 bucketful in November
·  another bucketful in January.
· Sprinkle a few handfuls of manure evenly around the tree each month from September to the end of March.
