Guava

Climate: Successful Guava cultivation is grown under tropical and sub-tropical climate. In areas with distinct winter season, the yield tends to increase.It can be grown up to an altitude of 1515 m above mean sea level. Older plants can tolerate drought. High temperature can cause fruit drop. The best soils for cultivation are deep, loamy and well drained.
2.soil:Optimum temperature is 23-26oC though it can withstand up to 46oC. It is so well acclimatized that at present it is grown throughout the length and breadth of the country from sea level to 1300 m altitude. However, it produces abundant crop of better quality in areas having a distinct dry and moderate winter. Guava seems indiscriminate as to soil, doing equally well on heavy clay, light sand, gravel bars near streams, or on limestone; and tolerates a pH range from 4.5 to 9.4.

Papaya

1.Climate:No need to water papaya plant in rainy season. Water papaya tree every 8-10 days in winter and twice a week in summers. Drainage is very essential, water logging may cause collar root. Earth up the base of the tree and drain off excess water. The papaya starts bearing fruits within a year of transplanting. The life of papaya tree is about 3 years.
2.Soil:Night temperature below 120-140 C for several hours during winter season affects its growth and production severely. It is very much sensitive to frost, strong winds and water stagnation.

Mango

1.Climate:TMango is very well adapted to tropical and subtropical climates. It thrives well in almost all the regions 0 0 of the country from sea level to an altitude of 600 m. The ideal temperature range for mango is 24 -30 C during the growing season, along with high humidity. A rainfall range of 890-1,015 mm in a year is considered as ideal for growing mangoes 2.Soil Preparation: Prior to planting, use 300g of fertiliser containing phosphorus, potassium and trace elements or well rotted animal manure. Mix with topsoil and place at the bottom of the planting hole. Refill with topsoil and plant the trees deep enough to allow the root-ball to be covered completely with soil

Watermelon

1.Climate: Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a warm-season frost-tender annual plant that produces large, juicy fruits late in the summer. The fruits may be round or oblong, have pink, red or yellow flesh and solid, marbled or striped skins. For optimum fruit production watermelon requires a long growing season with lots of warmth and sun.
2.Soil:Melons grow best on well-drained, sandy loam soils, with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. Soils with a pH less than 6.0 will produce plants with yellow foliage that set few or no fruit. You can improve your soil by adding well-rotted manure or compost in spring or fall.

Muskmelons

1Climate:Muskmelon is usually grown from late Novembers to late February and some off-season varieties are also grown by our Indian farmers. Muskmelons can grow better at the temperatures range in between 180C to 25 0C and temperatures below 12 0C the plant growth may be halted with poor performance and muskmelons can withstand upto 45 0C temperature among some varieties.
2.Soil:Muskmelon crop grows good in different types of soils. The loamy soils are said to be best to grow muskmelons and in sandy type loamy soils the crop may complete early and clay loamy soil the crop may get ready to harvest little late. The best pH range of the soil for muskmelon growing is 5.6 – 6.3.

Pomegranate

1.Climate:

1.Climate: Successful pomegranate cultivation is essentially dry and semi-arid weather, where cold winter and high dry summer quality enables fruit production. Pomegranate plants can tolerate frost to some extent and may be considered drought-tolerant. The optimum temperature for fruit development is 35 -38 ° C. The region with 500 m above from sea level is best suited for pomegranate cultivation.
2.Soil:Considering the soil requirement, it can be grown under different soil types, from low-fertile to high-fertile soil. However, in deep loamy, it gives an excellent yield. It can tolerate salinity and alkalinity in the soil to a certain extent. Soil having a pH range between 6.5 – 7.5 is ideal for Pomegranate farming.
