Pineapple (Ananas comosus)
- The plant crop after harvest can be retained as ratoon crop for two more years.
- After the harvest of the plant crop, chopping the side leaves of the mother plant should be done for easy cultural operations.
- The suckers retained should be limited to one or two per mother plant.
- Excess suckers if any should be removed.
- Earthing up should be done.
- All the care given to the main crop is also given to the ratoon crop.
- After the first ratoon crop is harvested, another crop can be harvested.
- In this way, the harvest can be done in three years.
