Artificial pollination to improve the set, size and shape of Arka Sahan custard apple fruits

Project Overview

Hand pollination is a simple and fast technique that results not only in good fruit set but also produces big size, attractive uniform shape fruits with no loss in edible attributes. Thus fruit yield can be significantly increased by artificial pollination. A tree of ArkaSahan can produce 40-45 kg fruits eight year onwards, hence in each tree about 150 flowers should be hand pollinated to achieve an expected yield of 25 tonnes/ha. Fruits developing from hand pollination will command premium price in the market
