PawPaw farming in Kenya
The average cost of a pawpaw in kilogram in Kenya is 30Ksh -35 Ksh. (variant)Most Pawpaw trees begin flowering at 5-6 months, and by month 9 you begin to hit the market. For Pawpaw trees they do produce in layers, meaning you can harvest all round the year on weekly basis when the fruit trees are fed well, watered well and protected from pests and diseases.
Planting Paw Paw is a very intensive farming skill as paw paws are known to be dioecious meaning they have both the male and female parts on different plants.But what if you plant pawpaws then find out all to be male is there a remmedy to rectify the situation and yes. To differentiate male pawpaw and female pawpaw seeds .The male pawpaw seeds are brown and female pawpaw seeds are black
According to Lawrence Ndambuki who has ever been in such a situation here is what you do
You shock the Pawpaw plant and have it to get an hormonal change from male to female, this may be by choping off,then drill holes at the lower part then drive nails through and pieces of dry wood, once it sprouts again, you can start seeing fruiting, time the chopping off and do it when the rain season is just about to start if you are not irrigating. The holes are drilled horizontally .
As a farmer the best way to differentiate a male from a female pawpaw seed apart from color is
Solo Sunrise pawpaw farming

Calina f1 papaya
A spacing of 3m* 3m is recommended for Calina f1 papaya as by 8 months the space is usually congested .Also try adding some cover crops on the wide space is recommended cover crops such as Lemon and passion fruits
I have used the spacing of 2m*2m and the fruits are already congested at 8months. Next time, I will do 3m*3m. I'd rather add cover crops.
