How To Plant Guyabano

Soil and climate requirements. The plant grows in any kind of soil, but a fairly deep, friable soil of volcanic origin is conducive to growth and fruiting. It thrives very well from sea level up to 500 meters above sea level. It is best to plant them at the start of the rainy season.

Method of propagation are thru:

1) grafting
2) cuttings
3) marcotting
4) and budding

Planting distance should be three to four meters apart. Can be harvested after two to three years with an expected yield of 3.7 ton per hectare.

Fertilizer Application

Planting Time. Use 250-300 gms. Complete fert. (14-14-14) or (12-24-12). Apply 3 inches below the roots and 5 inches to side  of seeding at planting. Eight cm below roots and 10 cm to the side.

Young trees (1-3 years). Use 300-500 g of complete fert. (14-14-14) or (12-24-12) plus 200-300 g urea (45-0-0). Mix and apply in two equal doses by digging along periphery of the tree. First application – start of the rainy season. Second application – end rainy season.

Fruit Bearing Trees. Use 1.5-3.0 kg complete fertilizer plus 200-300 g  Muriate of potash (0-0-60). Apply as above.

Harvesting

Fruits are mature when they become dark and shiny green with re-curved spines set far apart and the skin appearing to burst with pressure from within. Ripe fruits are light yellow and soft.

What is Organic Farming in Europe?

Organic farming is the form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost and biological pest control. Organic farming uses fertilizers and pesticides but excludes or strictly limits the use of manufactured (synthetic) fertilizers,pesticides (which include herbicides, insecticides and fungicides), plant growth regulators such as hormones, livestock antibiotics,food additives, genetically modified organisms,^[1] human sewage sludge, and nanomaterials.^[2]

Organic agricultural methods are internationally regulated and legally enforced by many nations, based in large part on the standards set by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), an international umbrella organization for organic farming organizations established in 1972.^[3] IFOAM defines the overarching goal of organic farming as:

"Organic agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved..."

—International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements^[4]

Since 1990, the market for organic products has grown from next to nothing statistically, reaching $55 billion in 2009 according to Organic Monitor (www.organicmonitor.com). This demand has driven a similar increase in organically managed farmland which has grown over the past decade at a compounding rate of 8.9% per annum.^[5] Approximately 37,000,000 hectares (91,000,000 acres) worldwide are now farmed organically, representing approximately 0.9 percent of total world farmland (2009) (see Willer/Kilcher 2011).

  System

• Operator Friendly

Application Guidelines:

Applying on tree roots would allow systemic uptake of BioGREEN to the whole tree. To do this, please ensure that there is sufficient amount of solution being drenched onto the soil to reach the root tips of the tree. This is necessary since the roots of large trees may be quite deep and grown away from the main tree trunk.

Since the 'waxy cuticle layer' underside of leaves are thinner than their topside, they tend to be attacked by spider mites, aphids and numerous other insect pests. Hence, BioGREEN should also be sprayed on the underside of leaves where insect pests pose as a significant problem.

Organic farming promoted in Sariaya, Quezon schools

SARIAYA, Quezon—New classrooms and cash prizes were given out to winning public schools in this province last week in a contest conducted to promote organic- and natural-farming practices in local schools.

The “Procesong Gulay para sa Masaganang Buhay—Gulayan sa Paaralan,” now in its third season, is a project of Quezon Second District Rep. Proceso Alcala, supported by Allied Botanical Corp. (ABC).

The announcement of the winners and the awarding of the prizes was held at the Agricultural Trading Post in this town.

The contest aims to raise farming interest among elementary pupils, high-school students and their teachers using environment-friendly and healthy (organic and natural) farming practices.

About 150 public elementary and high schools in the province’s Second District participated in the contest, said Rommel Lopez, ABC corporate communication manager.

Pili Elementary School and Lucena East 3 Elementary School were adjudged the grand winners for the Quezon Division and Lucena Division, respectively. The two schools will each receive three new classrooms and P10,000 cash prize for participating students.

All the prizes came from the Priority Development Assistance Fund of Alcala.

Department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary Dennis Araullo lauded the project for encouraging the younger generation to go into farming.

“Food security is national security, so food production is crucial to the stability of our country,” Araullo said.

Alcala lauded all who supported the project since its inception in 2007. He expressed optimism that the project would inspire the youth of Quezon to return to farming, and hoped that the country’s best vegetable farmers would all come from this province in the future.

He also expressed hope that the project would continue even after his term ends in June this year.

A Liberal Party stalwart in the province, Alcala opted not to seek reelection for his third and final term and instead endorsed the candidacy of his son, Irvin, to the post.

The congressman thanked ABC, which provided the vegetable-seed requirements of the project for free.

ABC is the only fully Filipino vegetable-seed company in the country with a solid research and breeding program, said Lopez.

Willy Co, ABC president, said his company is committed to continually support the project.

Lopez said participating schools planted Condor Quality Seeds, ABC’s seed brand, in their school yards. Highvalue crops such as lettuce, mustard, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots were grown and harvested by teachers and students.
