Hello, am looking for red royale f1 papaya seed. Who can help me out?

Yes, I have started removing them and transplanting them in a poly bag individually.

Progress with my pawpaw seedlings...

By the way, I just have a question. If I biy the fruit of Vega f1 or red royale f1 or Amy other dwarf variety and plant the seeds after eating the fruit, can they germinate and grow into that same variety?

ogbongenet:
what are you doing with this small size fruit pawpaw when i have a variety that can produce a fruit that weight up to 7kg at first fruiting. Pawpaw farming has to do with size of the fruit. I sell 250-300per fruit, must especially during Muslim fasting period

Kindly tell me how I can get this your variety and what is the name please?

My pawpaw have started germinating. You remember the picture of the seeds I posted earlier? See the germination below.

EMMAACHILE:
Yes it is but will sell more if the size was large like the red royale.
This one is good for fruit production due to its sweetness.

If you are on a budget, go for the Malaysian 1 foot which is between 1000-2000 for a 350 seed pack.

Please Emma where and how can I get these varieties like Malaysian 1 foot, and those you mentioned above?

EMMAACHILE:
It's too close to the wall as the wings will extend for about 1 m out.

Pawpaw spacing should be 2m x 2m giving maximum of 2000 plants per hectare. Some farmers use 1.8m x 1.8m accommodating 2700 plants. But for proper spacing, go with 2m x 2m

When i planted i didn't take that into consideration. Anyway it was just a trial.

EMMAACHILE:
I will advise red royale or sinta f1 over Vega f1 for commercial production as the fruits are larger which will fetch more cash.

Thank you for your advise. I even wanted to ask you about the variety i should go for.

As soon as i get my seed i will let you guys know.
I want to keep you updated on my development because i want to take as as a serious business. Any suggestion and constructive criticism is wecome.
I intend to have 300 trees of the dwarf papaya with 1.5 meters spacing between them. I have my farm where i am doing poultry and catfish farming. In the farm i have extra one hectare plus of land where i want to plant the papaya.
However i have not done any soil testing, i want to do it before the seed arrival.
One thing i know about my soil is that some places are clayey and some are very coarse sand. If the soil is somehow not suitable, i want to dig a hole the size of a 25 liters bucket and replace the sand with beter soil for each tree. Since i saw some people planting the papaya in a sack and buckets. But o need your views on that.
Please not that i am a newbie, i just xame to know about this dwarf papaya About 2 montha ago. I picked interest and started researching about them from google. That is how i came to this thread, thanks to the initiator.
Waiting for your responses before the seeds arrive.

As i am waiting for my dwarf papaya supply from that woman of East West company, i wanted to try planting the pawpaw seed i bought and ate. I did that two month ago and picture 1 is what i have now.
Picture two shows the seed i got Yesterday sunday 19/08/2018 and pictue three shows whre i planted the seeds.

I need the seed of this dwarf Papaya please. Who is the supplier of those seeds like papaya and cashew etc? Please lets meet so we discuss.
Thank you.

I will also appreciate knowing the quantity of zinc consumed and other roofing expenses, floor expenses. this is my mail: bashirmanya@gmail.com
Thank you.

hello and God bless all farmers in the house. I have a serious issue in my farm after stocking 1000 layers and they have been laying now for six months, i came to realise the benefits of using battery cages instead of deep litter through experience. Now i want to go for cages. my question is what will be the dimension of the pen to accommodate 2000 birds in a battery cage? how many rows will be needed? please help me with details about the housing.
thank you.

bosaty2003:

Please can Youwin secretariate or mail them if you have any questions or problems.
Thanks

My question is still about hatching as i posted my pictures earlier.
i have tried 4 times according to the procedure i got from robonski on agric network but only one of the four was successful with only about 300 hatched eggs. i am suspecting four things:
1. i run water continuously on my fertilized eggs which are spread on the mesh inside the vat. in fact i allow the water to start even before i spread the eggs.
2. i do not cover my hatching tank, though the hatching room is completely covered by polythene.
3. i wash the testes with normal saline before cutting it to release the sperm on eggs
4. my eggs are green on stripping, though they separate from each other.
the PH of my water is neutral.
could these four issues be the reason for my eggs inability to hatch?
robonski and others please kindly help as i am about to try one more time next week.

chilanfarms:
# ehyah sorry about that.... ur coach should do justice to d problem. Wats d age n weight of d broodstock? Slight mistake could floop d own procedure up, frm ur explainnation here somtins r missing. Hw did u fertilize? Hw did u spread d eggs on d mesh? Wats ur water ph?

the pics below shows my setup of hatchery. as i said i have two tanks as hatching vat the second attempt of my hatching yielded the result in this picture, about 300 eggs hatched out of about 100g of egg mass from 2kg of female broodstock. though i have not tested my borehole water, i have been using it fro fish farming for over a year, i have now taken some to a lab for test since i have no meter.
my coach kept saying the eggs would have hatched even if they are not matured enough but the fries would not survive. my problem is the eggs turn white twelve to fifteen hours after spreading them using spoon on the net.
On stripping my eggs are normally green is that normal? i used to add little water to the egg-sperm mixture before spreading is that ok? i also start flow through of water immediately after spreading and allow that to continue for the whole 30 hour or 24 hour period, is that ok? i do not cover my hatching vat after spreading the fertilised eggs as said by Robonski, could that be a problem?
the small fish are the 7 days old ones that have hatched.
please kindly help answer to save my endeavour. thank you.

Hello farmers, a very good evening to everyone,
I have started learning to hatch, i have done it four times but only one was successful. i dont seem to understand the problem because i have followed the rule given to me and what i read from agricnetwork. after injecting at about 8 pm i strip at about 6 am the following morning mix the egg and sperm and then spread on the mesh. i then allow my water flow through to start. after 24 hours i find my egg very white with no sign of any life in there. i gave up after 30 hours and washed the net and vat with disappointment.
i was suspecting my female broodstock eggs as they always appear green before i hatch. my coach told me that is not the reason for the failure to hatch as even unripe eggs do hatch but the hatchlings hardly survive. i also suspect the flow through immediately after spreding the fertilised eggs on the mesh for the whole period of hatching.
please gurus in the house should help me out as i am getting worried every day.
thank you.
