Industry Problem S & T Gaps S & T Interventions Deliverables Potential

Impacts

Low Yield ( 3.1mt

as against 10-15mt

in Thailand)

• Farmers do not

plant high yielding

varieties (mixed

varieties planted in

the orchard)

• Planting materials

used not from

accredited

nurseries

Use of Puyat & Duyaya

for fresh fruits

Using native varieties

as rootstock and

recommended

varieties as scion

Grafting at 30-35cm

above ground level

of rootstock

Reduced

Phytopthora

infection by 90%

Identified 3-5

native durian

trees as source of

Phytopthora

resistant/tolerant

rootstock

Good planting

material using

compatible scion-rootstock

combination

Increased yield

from 3 mt to 5-

8 mt

Impacts

Majority of

produce have

poor quality

High percentage of

fruits do not meet

market standards

(30-40%)

Pruning to control

canopy of durian

(Thai technology)

Flower & fruit thinning

Develop appropriate

canopy size,

branching of durian,

and fruit retention

techniques

Appropriate time

of flower & fruit

thinning

Appropriate height

and fruiting

branches

Extended

harvesting season

by 2 months

Increased in

ONGOING INITIATIVES for 2014


Cultural Management Practices


37/39


Impacts

Low yield &

production of

poor quality fruits

Improper application

of fertilizers

resulting to poor

fruit quality and

low yield

Establish optimum soil

& leaf critical

nutrient levels

(macro & micro

nutrients) as basis forfertilizer guide

Determined

optimum nutrient

levels of N,P,K,Ca,

Bo, Mg, Zn, and

Cu in the soil andplant tissue

Optimum fertilizer

recommendation

Increased in

yield by 20%
