so pineapples can be planted in an orange plantation.

Gdm all,happy Sunday.Sorry I have been offline.It is not recommended to intercrop pineapple with Orange.The soil nutrients and pH level will be depleted overtime there reducing yeild.Short terms vegetables can be intercropped with either crop with good spacing.

CASHEW TREE CULTIVATION

DESCRIPTION : Cashew is an economic tree with great foreign exchange potentials.Is one of the highest income earner along side Cocoa.Cashew can withstand drier conditions than most but bearing trees.They will survive with as little as 500mm of rainfall but the optimum annual rainfall is 1750mm.The fruits of cashew consist of a large fleshy " Apple" below which suspends a single nut.Within this nut is the kernel for which the tree is grown.The Apple usually have a bitter taste with its red texture. It is high in Vitamin C though a bit acidic. However,yellow cashew apple is usually sweet and good to eat unlike the red.

CASHEW MAIN VARIETY : BRAZIL ( JUMBO).

TEMPRATURE : Day temperatures for growing cashews should not drop below 10°C (50F), and cashew trees handle temperatures above 40°C (105F) well. An average day temperature of around 25°C (77F) is ideal. As long as they have some water cashew trees grow like weeds. They are fairly draught resistant and grow well even on marginal soils where other fruit trees would fail. The best soils for growing cashews are tropical low land in sandy soil.You can grow cashew trees anywhere in the wet/dry tropics. The main producers of cashew nuts are Brazil, India, Vietnam, Africa (Tanzania and Mozambique) and South East Asia.Nigeria is also a high producer of cashew in the world.

LAND PREPARATION : Before planting cashew the field or land should be carefully cleared and burned to make for a weed free seed bed.Select a well drained soil that is protected from strong winds.

PLANTING / SOWING :Cashew can be propagated by seeds. Selection of the right seed from good trees for planting is of great importance. Get your seed crop from a high yielding tree.This is because dense seeds are most likely to germinate.Your seeds for planting should be subjected to a floatation test to assertain the germination possibility of the seed.You can also buy Cashew seedlings for planting directly to the farm.Cashew can be planted in the in the raining season.

HOW TO TEST THE VALIDITY OF YOUR CASHEW SEEDS INTENDED FOR PLANTING.

Step 1. Mix 4 litres of water with 750g of sugar or 500g of salt .
Step 2. Put your cashew seeds into the solution.
Step 3. Observe the seeds in the solution if any floats upward.
Step 4. Remove all floating seeds and keep them aside because they may not germinate.
Step 5. Remove the good seeds in the water that passed the test and sundry for 2 to 3 days before planting.

SPACING : Recommended planting spacing for cashew is 9m apart .Each hole should be 30cm in diameter and 6cm deep.You can add little dung or ash or 100grams of phosphate to each hole and cover with top soil.3 seeds are planted in each hole.Mature tree need abt 9meters distance between them and they grow as tall to 12meters.

TRANSPLANTING : Seeds sown in nursery bed can be transplanted to the main field after 2 to 3 months .The seedlings in the bed must be under good shade.

FERTILIZATION : The addition of a good general fertilizer 2 to 3 times a year will help to increase yield but it is not mandatory except for commercial purpose.They need mainly fertilizers such as Nitrogen ,phosphorous and zinc.

IRRIGATION : Although cashew has the capacity to withstand draught but dry season water supply can be done .This is also required during flowering and but development.

WEED CONTROL : The Cashew seedling bed and plantation should be free from weed for the first 3 years especially for long term maturity varieties not grafted.After this time,weeds may not have serious competition with the tree .However they might constitute fire hazard especially in the dry season. So,it is advisable to always keep weed down by slashing 2 to 4 times a year.

INTERCROPPING CASHEW : Crops can be grown between cashew trees.Leguminous crops are intercrop in the first 2 years.Cashew can also be intercropped at random between coconut,mango tree and banana/ plantain.

HARVESTING CASHEW : Grafted cashew trees which take shorter period to fruiting (18 to 20 months) and possible extra months to harvest.Cashew trees flower and set fruit during the dry season and you can start picking them within a few months. Other regular long tree cashew will start producing from 7 years and continue production with good management for another 20yrs.All the trees develop both male and bisexual flowers .Pollination is mainly by insects.In harvesting some famers cut the ripe fruits from the tree.Other farmers wait until the fruits have fallen to the ground usually the best practice which ensures that the nuts are ripe .The apple if bitter is usually left to rot but the nuts must not be left on the ground for more than a week.

Next we shall look at the various pest and diseases related or associated to cashew tree.Thereafter we shall look at a brief cost analysis to set up an acre or hectare of a cashew plantation.
