Cultivar: Singapore Jack, Rudrakshi, Local types.

Sowing:Freshly extracted seeds should be sown in situduring fruiting season.

Soil:It can be grown in a wide range of soil condition. But the crop is successfully grown in rich deep alluvial soil.

Propagation:
By seeds : Seeds from fully ripe fruits of high yielding prolific bearing types should be selected.
Air-layering :For obtaining true to type plant air layering of one year old shoot of bearing plant is the best method when treated with IBA (500 ppm).
Epicotyl grafting : Jack seeds should be sown in poly bags (10cm x 20cm) filled with pot mixture in the 1stweek of July. The seedlings when reached 12-14 cm height (10-12 days old) should be used as rootstock for grafting. Scions from the terminal shoot of selected good variety of one season old having well developed buds should be used. Grafting should be performed by decapitating the seedlings at a height of 6 cm from the base and the top of as the stem should be split vertically to about 3.5 cm length forming a V-shape, 2.5 cm above the base. At the base of the individual scion a wedge of 4.0 cm should be prepared and inserted in the split epicotyl region of the stock and tied firmly by polythene strip.

Planting distance:10 to 12 m

Plant Protection:
1. Shoot and trunk borer: Application of carbaryl 50% @ 4 gm per litre of water by spray in flowering season.
2. Fruit rot: Spray Indofil M-45 (Dithane M-45) as prophylactic measure.

Cropping: First fruiting takes place 6 to 8 years after planting.
Harvesting:The fruit matures towards the end of summer in June. Harvesting is done by cutting the stalk carrying the fruits.
Yield:200 to 500 fruits per tree/year.

Benefit: cost ratio: 4.10 for bearing plants
