Pineapple:

Ananas comosus

   Scientific Name: Ananas comosus

Ananas is a fruit. It is native to South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The word "Ananas " comes from European explorers, who thought the fruit resembled a pine cone. Pineapple is a tropical plant and should not be kept at temperatures below 10 degrees. Pineapples take a long time to grow. It mainly depends on the location and growing conditions. Pineapple will grow faster if the temperature is warm. On average, development takes about two to three years. If the fruit is traveling by boat, the fruit must be picked before it is ripe, as the journey takes a long time. Sometimes, Pineapple must travel by boat to be more accessible. It's different for air travel. Pineapples can be picked as they grow, as travel time is reduced. In most countries, Pineapple is called Pineapple.

feed:

Ananas contains fiber and vitamin C. The Pineapple stem contains an enzyme that has healing and anti-inflammatory effects and can reduce swelling. The enzyme present in Pineapple is beneficial for a person who wants to follow a good diet. Ananas is high in manganese. The body needs manganese to build strong bones.

Pineapple Types

There are many varieties of Pineapple in the world. In fact, there are over a hundred species that grow in different sizes. There are four main types of them:

 

Sugarloaf Ananas: Commonly grown in Mexico and Venezuela. The flesh is white and the wood is not.

English Ananas: It is found in Central American countries. This Pineapple is light yellow in color and has a square shape.

Royal Ananas: Grows in the Hluhluwe region of South Africa. It is less sweet and the flesh is rich and yellow. This variety has a mild taste.

Soft Red Pepper Pineapple: This variety comes from Hawaii. It is high in sugar and acid. The leaves are spineless and cylindrical in shape.

The preaching of the

Ananas are usually propagated by growing new shoots from the original (mother) plant. There are four common crops: fruit cores; Seeds and hops, coming from the stalk beneath the fruit. Corolla, arising from the apices of the leaves. Mosquitoes grow from the lower parts of the canopy. The crown consists of leaves and the top 1/2 to 3/4 of the fruit (13-19 mm). Cuttings arise from the fruit stem beneath the fruit and form a distinct curve at the base of the leaves. Hops are similar to hops, but they grow more at the base of the fruit and lack the kind of wrinkles at the base of the leaves. Seeds and hops should be left in the greenhouse for several weeks after harvesting the fruit to ensure they are large enough for the crop.

Corollas are produced at the base of the leaves and must remain on the tree after fruit harvest to ensure yield. The rootstock can also be used to propagate new plants and is usually cut into several pieces. In all cases, the larger the crowns, seeds, hops, corks, and cuttings, the faster the fruiting period after planting.

To start a new plant, separate the cuttings, hops, or crowns from the mother plant and let them air dry in the shade for a day or two. Plant in clean soil in a prepared area or containers.

Cultivation in sandy soil

Many areas of Florida have sandy soil. Remove a 3- to 6-foot-diameter ring (0.9-1.8 m) or a 2-by-6-foot (0.6-1.8 m) rectangle of turf grass. To plant a plant, dig a hole 3 to 4 times the diameter and twice as deep as the Ananas plant came in. Digging a large hole loosens the soil next to the new plant, making it easier for roots to spread. Adjacent soil. To plant in a rectangular bed, dig the soil twice as deep as the container and make a bed of earthen mounds.

It is not necessary to add manure, topsoil, or manure to the hole. In fact, it is not recommended to first put soil or compost in the hole and then plant on top of it. If you want to add topsoil or compost to the original soil, mix it with the excavated soil in a 1:1 ratio.

 

Remove the plant from the pot and place it in a hole so that the top of the soil source in the pot is level with or slightly higher than the surface of the surrounding soil. Fill the soil around the plant roots and press gently to remove air pockets. Water the soil around the plant immediately.

Fertilizer

Dry mixes and ferrous soils sink. Fertilize Ananas plants with a dry fertilizer containing 6 to 10% nitrogen (N), 6 to 10% phosphoric acid (P), 6 to 10% potash (K), and 4 to 6% magnesium (Mg), which is satisfactory. ). Young plants should be fertilized with 1 to 2 ounces (30-29 grams) or less of NPK every 8 weeks to increase the amount as the plant grows. Plants growing in soil with a high pH can be sprayed periodically around the base of the plant with soaked chelated iron or with a liquid source of iron.

 

Liquid mixture. Pineapple plants can also be fertilized with a light solution of nutrients containing NPK and Mg (Table 1). Follow the directions on the ingredient label to avoid burning the leaves. However, iron can be a component of some plant nutrients. If the material does not contain iron, a 1% solution of ferrous (iron) sulfate can be applied to the leaves. Apply a foliar feeder every 8 to 10 weeks.

Micronutrient compounds. Foliar sprays containing micronutrients such as zinc and manganese (iron is sometimes an ingredient) should be applied two to three times a year in hot weather. Follow micronutrient formulation directions to avoid leaf burn.

Manure and topsoil. A small amount of compost and/or topsoil can be added to the soil before planting. This will help the roots grow and improve the soil's ability to retain water and nutrients.

irrigation water).

Ananas plants should be irrigated during prolonged periods of drought for optimal plant growth and fruit production (Table 1). Well-drained soil should be lightly watered once a week.

Ananas and Lawn care

Ananas plants in home landscapes are susceptible to weeding and weed injury. Maintain a weed-free area 0.6–1.5 m (2–5 ft.) away from Pineapple plants. Never hit the plant with lawn mowers and never use a weed eater near the plant. Mechanical damage to the plant will weaken it and, if severe enough, severely reduce plant growth, or cause the plant to decline or die.

Using a lawn sprinkler system on a timer can cause overwatering and wilting of your Ananas plants. This is because too much water often leads to root rot.

Wood plank

Mulching Pineapple plants in the home landscape helps retain soil moisture, reduces plant weed problems, and improves soil near the surface. Mulch with 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) of bark, wood chips, or similar mulching material. Place the mulch 7.6-15 cm from the base of the plant.

Previous geotextiles can also be used as mulch to prevent weed growth on closely spaced Ananas plants. A thin layer of natural mulch can be placed over it for aesthetic purposes.

Landing on a bump

Many areas of Florida are within 7 feet (2.1 m) or more of the water table and experience occasional flooding after heavy rains. To improve plant survival, consider planting Ananas plants 2 to 3 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet in diameter (0.6-0.9 m by 1.2-1.5 m) in mounds or beds of native soil. Once the mound is formed, dig a hole twice as large in diameter and twice as deep as the container the plant was in. Follow the recommendations in the previous section in places where the bedrock comes almost to the surface (rocky soils). For areas with sandy soil, follow the recommendations in the section on planting in sandy soil.
