Raising Mangosteen

Raising Mangosteen

1 . seeding Mangosteen

Mangosteen tree

 Mangosteen tree can be propagated by seeds / seedlings grafting shoots & Dairy . Trees planted new seeds of flowering at the age of 10-15 years, while that of planted seedlings to flowering connections at the age of 5-7 years .

Seed requirements

For Propagation by seed rootstock seeds that will be used as a seed taken from an old fruit containing fruit pulp with 5-6 segments of 1-2 segments which have seeds , not damaged , weighing a minimum of one gram and at least 75 % germination . The fruit of the tree which is taken at least 10 years old .

To seed a way of making the necessary connections rootstocks and shoots ( entres ) that healthy . Rootstock seedlings from seed is more than two years old with a trunk diameter of 0.5 cm and a brownish -green skin .

Seed Preparation

Propagation by seed rootstock to negate For fruit pulp , fruit soak in water for 1 week clean ( water changed every other day ) so that mucus and fungus wasted . Seeds will flake off by itself and seeds washed thoroughly . Dip into the seed with fungicide Benlate concentration of 3 g / L for 2-5 minutes . Keringanginkan seeds in the shade for a few days until the moisture content of 12-14 % .

For a connection shoots shoots ( one book ) which was derived from the young leafy trees and a healthy mother who excel . Two weeks before grafting rootstock section incision areas and shoots spread of plant growth regulators Adenine / Kinetin with a concentration of 500 ppm For further spur growth .

Seed Seeding Technique

Propagation by seed beds within pile is built with a width of 100-120 cm with 60-100 cm spacing between beds . Processed into 30 cm soil , then mix sand , soil and organic matter finely ( 3:2:1 ) with evenly . Nursery given a thatch roof / coconut leaves to a height of 150-175 cm and East side West side of 10-125 cm . Seeds planted within the planting hole measuring 10 x 10 cm with a spacing of 3 x 3 cm and 5 cm distance between rows at a depth of 0.5-1.0 cm . Close the seeds with soil and subsequent beds covered with wet burlap sacks or straw 3 cm thick . Nursery watered 1-2 times a day , given urea and SP - 36 each 2 g / plant every month . After the age of 1 year , seedlings were transferred to within polybag size 20 x 30 cm containing a mixture of soil and compost / manure ( 1:1 ) . Seed is maintained until the age of 2 years old and ready to be planted in the field / rootstock used in grafting .

Seeding and nursery in polybags within a 20 x 30 cm . One / two seed sowing in polybags within 20 x 30 cm which are basically small perforated at a depth of 0.5-1.0 cm . Media planting a mixture of fine soil , compost / manure smooth and sand ( 1:1:1 ) . Save polybag in beds that circled his side boards / bamboo slats so polybags not collapse . Nursery watered 1-2 days and given urea and SP - 36 as much as 2-3 g / plant every month . Seed is maintained until the age of 2 years old and ready to be planted in the field or used as rootstock in grafting .

Propagation by grafting the bud : The bud grafting method is as follows :

Cut material as high as 15-25 cm below the base of the neck and make a slit in the tip of the rod along 3-5 cm .

pointed along the base of the stem above 3-5 cm .

Tuck the pointy part scions ( shoots ) to within a gap rootstock .

wrap field below and above the linkage rod with raffia . Wrapping starts from the top , then tie the ends of the bandage firmly .

Cover the connection with the results of a transparent plastic bag and keep in the shade . After 2-3 weeks the cover is opened and the seeds were allowed to grow for 3-4 weeks . Bandage can be removed after the age of 3 months which is when the seeds have sprouted . After a 6 month old ready Transplanting seedlings into the garden .

During the flush connection  seeds and weed regularly .

Propagation by grafting feedings . The manner of attaching feedings are as follows :

Select the parent tree trunk that productive as above .

Prepare rootstocks in polybags within and put on top of which is higher than the parent tree mangosteen .

Select one branch ( entres ) For material from the parent tree branches above . Branch diameter less than or equal to the lower stem .

Cut down with a wooden rod of approximately 1/3-1/2 diameter of 5-8 cm along the stem .

Cut branches also entres the same way .

Bring a second incision field rod and wrapped with raffia .

Let the seeds Dairy for 5-6 months .

Maintain parent tree and rootstock in polybags within intensively .

Dairy successful if young sprout in the bud scions ( budwood ) and no swelling ( callus ) in the rope .

Dairy seedlings new- cut immediately stored in the shade by irradiating 30 % for 3-6 months to grow new shoots . At this time ready Transplanting seedlings .

2 . Mangosteen Media Processing Plant

Preparation : Determination of areal For mango plantations should pay attention to the ease of transportation and water resources .

Land Opening

Dismantling the plant that are not needed and turn off the reeds and eliminate weeds and shrubs from planting areas .

Plowing to negate any chunk of land that is too large .

Planting Distance setting : In other less fertile soil , spacing sealed while on fertile soil , spacing is more tenuous . Standard plant spacing was 10 m and arranged in a way :

isosceles triangle .

diagonal .

square ( rectangle) .

Fertilization Mangosteen : Seedlings planted in the rainy season except in areas that are irrigated throughout the year . Before planting sprinkle a mixture of 500 grams of ZA , SP - 36 250 grams and 200 grams of KCl to within the planting hole and cover with soil . Mangosteen growing media processing
