The planting of the avocado
The space between the hole and the hole
- The distance from the pit to the hole is 7 LETS
- The distance from the lane to the line is 7 meters
But the above measure will depend a great deal on the type of soil in your soil, for the soil with a high amount of Phosphorus (P), the measure is not good, because after 3-5 years the seedlings of two consecutive rows will be in the middle
So the opportunity may be
8M X 8M-FOR THIS WORLD YOU WILL HAVE 63 MAGES FOR 1 EKA
OR 9M X 9M-FOR THIS REASON YOU WILL HAVE 49 MAGES FOR 1 EKA
OR 10M X 10M - FOR THIS REASON YOU WILL HAVE 40 MINUTES FOR 1 EKA
The size of the hole
The hole can be 2.5 x x2.5 x x 2.5 feet (2.5 x x 75 x x 75) (x x wide x height)
Or a measure of 3 feet x 3 feet 3 x 3 feet = 90 cm sm 90 x sm 90
Fertilizer
The planting material that will be needed, is one of these
Fertilizer, Compost, DAP, or TSP-But it is important to transplant natural fertilizer if the fertilizer mixes slightly with TSP or DAP.
Fertilizer measurement,
If it is natural fertilizer (Manure or Compost) - A 16 to 20 kg mass should be kept in the hole 3 months before planting the seedlings
If you plant industrial fertilizers (TSP, DAP, Sky, NPK etc), 100 to 200 grams should be placed in each hole, mixed well with soil, then the plant should be watered and watered
GROWTH AND REDUCE
Most modern avocados, they begin to bear after 3 years and their fruit ripens in about 6 to 12 months. The HASS fruit is the slowest ripening, taking between 7 and 12 oaks since it becomes a tree.
Harvest
For the first time a single avocado tree can give you between 50 to 100 fruits per bush.
The yield increases as the age increases
When a peach tree is 4 to 5 years old, it becomes full maturity, and so one tree can give you up to 1200 fruits a year '
BENEFIT
at a height of 10 meters x 10 meters, in one acre you will have 40 meters
- Each tree after 5 years can give you an average of 1000 fruits
- So for 40 trees, you will have a total of 40 x 1000 = 40,000 fruits
- Every fruit for the price of a field sells 250 Tshs, and you have 40,000 fruits
- So you will get a total of 250 x 40,000 fruits = 10,000,000tsh (10 Million)
