FIG :
Indian Varieties : Poona fig, Dinkar,Conardia, Mission Kadota, Brown Turkey Excel and Deanna released in India by different research stations
Imported varieties : California Black
Soil : Medium to heavy calcareous well drained, deep(about 1m) soils having pH of7-8 are ideally suited for growing figs
Spacing : As a single crop at 2.5-5m x 2.5-5m spacing (400-1600 plants/ha) or as an intercrop for 5 years in high density plantation (in between rows of main crop) at 3m x 1.5m spacing to accommodate nearly 1100 trees/ha…
Yield : The yield ranges from 7-29 tonnes/ha
CUSTARD APPLE :
Varieties : Balanagar, Arka sahan, Barbados seedling, Kakarlapahad, British Guinea, Bullock’s Heart ( Ramphal ) Mahaboobnagar, Saharanpur local and Washington are released .

Note : Arka Sahan is not pure custard apple , A cross hybrid between 75% custard apple and 25% Cherimoya .( Ramphal )
Soil : Arable ,red ,sandy shallow soils slightly acidic in reaction are good for Custard apples It can grow well even in calcareous soils containing lime as high as 50% and in gravelly soils.
A high atmospheric humidity during flowering improves fruit set
Spacing : Planting is done at 5m x 5m in pits of size 60cm x 60cm x 60cm to accommodate 400 plants/ha. For high density planting a spacing of 6m x 3m (540 plants/ha) is ideal
Yield : Trees start yielding from 3rd year. Single crop(4-5 pickings) in August to October in South India and September to November in North India. 7 tonnes/ha. In high density planting the yield is 25 tonnes/ha
GUAVA :
Varieties : Lucknow 49, Allahabad Safeda, Chittidar, Hafshi, Seedless, Apple colour, Arka Amulya, Arka Mridula, , Banaras ,
Imported varieties : Taiwan , Red Thai
Spacing : 5 - 6m either way. High density planting 6m x 3m

ACID LIME :
Varieties : Pramalini, Vikram, Chakradhar, PKM1, Balaji,
Imported varieties : Thai seedless , Rangpur lime
Soil : Deep well drained loamy soils are the best
Spacing : Healthy seedlings/ budded plants may be planted at 5 to 6 m spacing in 60 cm x 60 cm x 60cm pits. Adopt high density planting at 6m x 3m for higher productivity.
Yield : Starts bearing from 3rd year after planting. 25 t/ha/year.
SWEET ORANGE :
Varieties : Mosambi, Sathukudi, Blood orange, Valencia, Jaffa, Hamlin and Pineapple.
Soil : Soil pH should be 6.5 to 7.5 and EC of water less than 1.0. A dry climate with about 50 – 75 cm of rainfall from June – September
Spacing : 7m x 7m for normal plantations and 6 m x 3 m for high density plantations. Adopt high density planting for higher productivity
Yield : yield from 2 year of planting . 10 t/ha. High density plantation 25 tonnes/ha
SAPOTA :
Varieties : Oval, Kalipatti.,Cricket Ball, Kirtibarti, Guthi, CO 1, CO 2, CO 3, PKM 1, PKM 2, PKM 3 and PKM 4.
Soil : Any soil with humid ( 70% RH) climate for year round fruiting
Spacing : 8 -10 m x 8- 10 m spacing and pit size of 1 m x 1 m x 1 m. Adopt 6m x 3 m for high density planting
Yield : 20 t/ha/year. In high density plantation the yield is 25-30 tonnes/ha
JACKFRUIT :
Varieties : Champa, Gulabi, Hazar,Velipala, Singapore, Hybrid jack, Panruti selection, Thanjavur jack, Burliar 1, PLR 1, PPI 1,Varikka, Koozha, Navarikka, Muttam Varika, Dewaria, NJT 1, NJT 2, NJT 3, and NJT 4(table varieties), NJT 5, NJT 6, NJT 7 and NJT 8 ( culinary varieties)

Heavy clay to very light sandy soils having pH between 4.5-8.2 are suitable for cultivation of guava .
Popular varieties of Guava being cultivated in Karnataka (Kolar, Shimoga, Dharwar, Raichur, Bangalore (R & U), Belgaum ) Allahabad Safeda, L-49, Araka Mridula, Araka Amulya, Bangalore, Dharwar
Zinc deficiency results in interveinal chlorosis, formation of little leaves and restricted internodes leading to “rosette”
The pH ranged from 8.1 to 8.5 and EC in the rootzone of soil supporting healthy citrus plants and any value above it may lead to interveinal chlorosis
Lemon Varieties being cultivated in Karnataka - Baramasi, Nepali oblong, Italian lemon, Lisbon lemon, Eureka lemon, Seville .
Zinc deficiency affects citrus growing in either acid or alkaline soils, but is usually more severe with alkaline soils. Excessive use of phosphate fertilizers can accentuate zinc deficiency
Leaves of zinc-deficient citrus are small and abnormally narrow, and rather crowded, on short stems; this produces a bunched appearance.
Hello Prasad,
We have Poona Red variety of fig plants produced by tissue culture. Early fruiting and vigorous growth compared to grafts.Also seedless thai lemon and kagzi lime by tissue culture available. Plz contact Mitesh at 7600108008 for details.
