What will make a paw paw tree to be producing very tiny paw paw? Someone should answer dis question for me please?

buy dolomite lime 1 mudu apply and add ash if possible the base if possible

ruphytelecom:
PLEASE can someone suggest an organic or natural substance that I can apply to my paw paw plants to prevent it from dieing.

I noticed some white insects invading my paw paw plants immediately one of them started bearing fruits. I have tried white vinegar but no positive results two of the plants are still going bad and the white insects are increasing.

If you have seen this type of thing and solve it please help a brother.

Mealy bugs. Dilute sniper with water, and spray on the parasites. You may need to repeat this once in a month for like 3 months, depending on how badly affected your crops are

This is a good advice. I also noticed the same tiny white insects on one of mine too. I should spray it with diluted sniper when I get home this evening since I have sniper at home.

May be it wasn't pollinated. Because a female pawpaw tree needs a pollen from male flowers to pollinate. And we have bad habit of cutting male pawpaw trees in Nigeria due to ignorance and superstition

Have you tried using warm Ash? It's the fastest remedy for such attacks

use baking soda

100g in 10litres of water

GrammarNazi1:
It's...I...

We have missed those corrections bro, whr have u been. Good to know u r back!

I Guess the plant needs more water...

It needs treatment.

Proper solution is very important. I think the sniper is 1000EC (EC meaning Emulsifiable concentrate). Mix 10ml of sniper to 1 liter of water

Does that happen naturally?
I ask because the pawpaw trees we have kinda grew naturally and well, and are already producing fruits.

Unfortunately, nothing is organicall wrong with the papaya plants, if you planted them far away from concrete wall, they'd be thriving now, but the concrete secretions destroys phosphorous presence on the soil so next time do not plant them near the wall.

If you have a means of uprooting them and replanting elsewhere, you will do nothing extra and the plants will recover.

Go to brekete family TV facebook as of a man that sold bio organic faterlizer is good for all crop 🌾 eg rice pawpaw, banana 🍌 ginger

Okay.
So how will i get the male to pollinate the female paw paw?
And, are they male and female paw paw?

AntiChristian:


Papaya mealybug!

Try soapy water first!

Or try Alcohol (ethanol) and water!

Have tried the soap water this evening will come back to give feedback tomorrow

it's the whiteflies that are destroying them, they came from nowhere and started multiplying and destroying the paw paw plants

Nope, just like maggots shows up where there is putrefaction, the maggots are not the cause of decomposition natural in symbiotics chain to restore nature.

That environment or particular land it's on isn't good enough for it, please try transplanting it properly to a wider and open area where it gets enough water and sunlight then use cold ash at least twice a week on the root (morning period) and cut out the sick trunks and leaves, if you have insecticide then fine apply as well and see the changes for yourself, thanks.

Same with my pawpaw o

Love800:
Okay.
So how will i get the male to pollinate the female paw paw?
And, are they male and female paw paw?

Yes, there are separate male and female pawpaw trees.
How do you get male, when you see one or two, don't cut it down, let it be. And it can also grow in your sorrounding, not necessarily on your farm, it will also work as insects are responsible for its pollination

ruphytelecom:

It will work. I have killed insects on many occasions with soap water.
But someone else suggested, may be those bugs are not the root problem, we learn everyday.

What about using NPK fertiliser to supply it with Phosphorous?

Mariangeles:

Yes, by insects. Pawpaw is insect pollinated. As long as there is male pawpaw somewhere nearby and the insects can fly from the males to the females

You will need a lot of it for the entire lifespan of the fruit tree and the fruits will not taste nice. I have got pawpaw trees and all kinds of fruit trees in my garden, so I am not trying to impress you, just telling from my experience.

WoW! Nature is amazing, and generous too.

Wait! Does that mean male pawpaw trees don't bear fruit?

About how many fruit trees do you have in your garden, and what fruits are they?

Mariangeles:

No, they don't. Their functions is for their pollen grains to fertilise the females

Na wa O! We learn new things everyday.

So, I could have pawpaw trees, but if they were not pollinated, they might not bear fruits, and it's up to nature to do that.
Indeed, time and chance happens to everything.

I appreciate.

Mariangeles:

Quite a number of fruit trees and herbs in the gardens such as Oranges, pawpaw, lemon, lime, turmeric, garlic, pepper, plantain, banana, oil palms, moringa, scent leaves, mints, pumpkins, water leafs, okra, also nurseries for date palms, pine apple, mango and, lest I forget we've got some pigs and chickens and we have bitter leaves plants and so many vegetables. Today we got some plantain bunches and banana and yellow corn harvested and we enjoyed some this evening.
