When we talk about papaya cultivation, we need to pay heed towards various environmental and land-related factors. We need to assess the following soil characteristics for successful papaya cultivation:
1. Type of soil
2. Water absorption and drainage capacity
3. Duration of sunshine, day length, etc.
4. Risk and number or days of fog/hail
5. Temperature range
6. Irrigation water availability
7. Wind circulation and its direction
8. Selection of planting site
Site suitable for papaya cultivation
While choosing a site for papaya cultivation, consider three important environmental factors: temperature and humidity (rainfall and soil drainage). Your need to plant papaya trees in full-sunlight location for best growth and fruiting. Choose the warmest part of the land, where water does not stagnate after rain. To avoid obstruction in airflow and light, don’t plant papaya trees near buildings or other structures.
Best Climate and Location for Papaya
Papaya trees grows best in warm and subtropical regions at temperatures between 68°F and 90°F (20°C and 32°C). Papaya is sensitive to fog, so choose a location where the risk of fog is low.
