Papaya is a tropical crop that loves hot climates and is intolerant of low temperatures and frost. When the temperature drops below 5°C, frost damage occurs, so it is very important to take the following measures to prevent freezing:
Apply a heavy overwintering fertilizer. For each tree, apply 10-15 kg of organic fertilizer made from a mixture of decomposed human and livestock manure and plant ash, plus 1.5 kg of phosphate fertilizer. At a distance of 80-100 cm from the main trunk, dig a ring-shaped trench 20 cm deep and 35 cm wide, mix the fertilizer evenly with the soil that was dug out, then fill it back into the trench. After fertilizing, cover the tree base with rice straw or other weeds. Spray the trunk and branches with a 100-fold dilution (50 kg) of Hushu Jiangjun emulsion; the film-forming substance can protect the leaves and flower buds through the winter from frost damage.
