Cultivation Method Cempedak:
** Choosing Cempedak Seeds, seeds selection is very influential on crop production Cempedak. Because the seeds were able to grow well and fairly resistant to disease. Should plant seeds taken from mature seeds of the fruit on the tree, big and rounded shape. Polybag seedlings seeds into a quart size, flush regularly to grow shoots and 6 months old, then the seedlings are ready to be moved into agricultural land.** Planting Pattern Cempedak, determine the spacing of crop growth and yield. Cempedak is a plant with large trunks of trees and leaves are also cropping ribun so distance should be sufficient. In general, use a spacing of 10 x 10 meters or 12 x 12 meters, if the distance is too close to the tree and its fruit will be a little thin.
** Land Management, Cempedak plants can grow well in all types of soil with the soil condition has sufficient water intake for the plant Cempedak. Make a hole with a size of 40 x 40 x 40 cm and the distance between holes 10 x 10 m or 12 x 12 m. Put mulch 10 cm into the hole and leave a hole for one week before planting.
