III. How do you plant jackfruit saplings so they flower and fruit early?

1. In planting jackfruit, first the seedlings must be well selected; whether seed seedlings or grafted seedlings, choose seedlings with an intact nutrient bag, complete nutrient soil, good growth, and no pests, diseases, or damage on the surface.

2. Before planting jackfruit saplings, carry out deep plowing, leveling, and application of base fertilizer. When placing the seedling into the pit, untie the plastic bag wrapping, first fill and pack the space below the soil ball tightly with fine soil, then fill soil around it. Cover the surface around the tree base with grass to retain moisture, provide appropriate shade, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.

3. Apply quick-acting fertilizer before each new shoot flush of the jackfruit sapling to promote and strengthen the shoots. For fruiting trees, after harvesting the fruit, apply heavy organic fertilizer together with a small amount of quick-acting fertilizer to restore tree vigor, improve leaf function, and promote flower bud differentiation. In early spring when sprouting and before flower clusters emerge, apply quick-acting fertilizer to promote new shoot growth and inflorescence development. When the fruit rapidly enlarges, apply fruit-strengthening fertilizer to promote fruit development. In addition, irrigate during drought and drain promptly when there is a lot of rain.

4. During the growth of the jackfruit tree, promptly prune dead branches, weak branches, and overly dense branches, and after harvesting the fruit, cut off the fruiting branches and male flower branches remaining on the trunk and large branches. Mainly carry out pruning in winter, and also prune appropriately after fruit harvest and in spring. In addition, bark ringing or girdling on the trunk and main branches can promote flowering and fruiting.

5. For jackfruit trees, pay attention to preventing and controlling fruit rot, anthracnose, longhorn beetles, and fruit cracking, and spray different agents according to different situations.
