SOIL & CLIMATE CONDITION-

Papaya can grow on a variety of soils, yet the best soil is deep, rich, alluvial soils on the banks and deltas of rivers in India. The best performance has been observed on rich loams of uniform texture up to about 15 cm deep with a pH range of 6.5 to 7.0. Do not select clayey soils having highly moisture retentivity as they easily get waterlogged. Depending on the pH, apply 2 to 4 tons of lime per hectare in acid soils to bring the desired pH (6.5 to 7.0) for papaya cultivation. The optimum temperature for the germination of seeds is about 35oC and temperatures below 23oC and above 44oC are detrimental to seed germination.
