A. Openers
Vanilla plants or the Green Gold are promising commodities. But not all vanilla is worth "gold", only the best quality is given a special price.
B. TERMS OF GROWTH
Vanilla
C. MENTIONING
1. Seed Selection
Type of vanilla is of economic value, namely Vanilla planifolia Andrews, Vanilla tahitensis JW. Moore, Vanilla pompana.
Generative seed requirements: true, have almost the same characteristics as the parent; pure, seeds are not mixed with poor quality; seeds in fresh and healthy conditions; vegetative seedlings: the parent plant is healthy and old enough, has released a strong branch of tendrils, the parent plant has not or not to bear fruit.
2. Seed preparation
Generative seeds come from superior seeds.
Vegetative seeds with cuttings, accelerate the rooting of cuttings can be soaked in sugar water
Kulture Network.
3. Seed Sowing Techniques
Seedlings are sown in sandy so that the roots are easy to grow. The nursery must be shaded.
4. Nursery / seeding maintenance
Watering every day, should not be too wet. Bad seeds are removed. Every once a week spray with POC
5. Transfer of Seeds
Transfer of seeds to the field depends on the origin of the seedlings, namely seedlings cuttings around the age of 1-2 months, seedlings are long time.
D. PLANT MEDIA PROCESSING
Processing of the land is done in the middle of the dry season so that the protective trees can be planted, check the soil conditions
Clean the land from weeds and hijack.
Make the bed line, width 80-120 cm and width of ditch 30-50 cm.
Calcify if the soil conditions are too acidic.
E. PLANTING
Planting in the middle of the beds, monoculture planting patterns
Create a planting hole near the plant with a length, width and depth between 20x15x10 cm, 25x20x12 cm and 30x25x15 cm.
Plant cuttings by inserting 3 segments completely into the hole horizontally so that the roots grow quickly and perfectly
Cover with excavated soil mixed with manure
Upper seed cuttings that are not immersed in the soil are tied to climbing trees with loose ties.
Time to plant good seedlings at the beginning of the rainy season. Whereas the cuttings to be planted should be left / down for 4 - 7 days and the base of the cuttings is soaked in sugar water
F. PLANT MAINTENANCE
1. Embroidering
Check after 2-3 weeks after planting, if there are cuttings that grow poorly, immediately embroider.
2. Weeding and Planting
Weeding is done once a month after planting until the growth of vanilla is not stunted and late. Fertilization together with weeding to keep the beds tidy and the soil remains loose so that water is easily absorbed.
3. Sealing
Paste the shape, cut 15 cm from the curved plant and leave the 3 best branches to maintain to form a strong and balanced plant frame
Sealing production, cutting 10-15 cm long shoots before the flowering season and fruiting time to stimulate generative growth, especially flower and fruit growth
Sealing rejuvenation, cutting off the branches that have been fruiting and the branches that are sick.
4. Fertilization
The spread of macro fertilizer here is fermented solid organic fertilizer around the tree and heap with soil because the vanilla root system is quite shallow. Fertilizer needs are based on land area, number of planting holes. The assumption is that one planting hole needs about 1-5 kg of solid organic fertilizer.
5.Polination
Vanilla flower pollination or marriage is highly anticipated and very unique, considering that vanilla haya flowers bloom between 3:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. and will reopen at 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The quantity of vaili cultivation is determined by the pollination process.
6. Harvesting Processing Results
The quality of vanilla harvest greatly determines the class and price of vanilla. It is good to sort the vanilla fruit by sorting both the size and quality of the vanilla fruit itself. To get the best harvest there are various things that must be known
Old vanilla fruit signs
- age 8-9 months after pollination (after mating) depending on conditions.
- The remaining flowers at the end of the fruit have fallen / dislodged
the color of the fruit has changed from bright green to grayish green and dull.
- the end of the fruit has started to turn a little yellow but not until it breaks. (if it has broken the quality of the bad category).
