Weeding

• Two hand diggings are needed
• In the beginning of the rainy season
• In January-February

Irrigation

• The crop should be irrigated in summer.
• The ring system of irrigation is better than the basin system
• Ring system prevents irrigation water coming into contact with the stem, thus preventing collar rot.

Intercropping

• When papaya is grown as the main crop, vegetables can be profitably cultivated as intercrop for about six months from planting of papaya seedlings.
