Being a nutritious and delicious fruit, jackfruit farming still possess a small percentage of production by the farmers and those practising possess low skills in farming.
To plant jackfruit, a hole of 2×2 ft is dug and manure is put, seedling is put, covered with soil and watered. At a height of 2 metres, cut off the top of the shoot of the jackfruit to prevent it from growing up high which affect the harvesting.
Fruit management
For quick harvest, consider stage of seedling as young ones take long to harvest hence mature seedlings should be used.
Additionally, space seedlings at 25×25 ft to encourage intercropping of crops such as maize and beans. Harvesting of jackfruit is done twice in a year and each tree produce an average of 50 fruits for each season.
Finally, jackfruit tree lasts for about 80 years.
