Description
Weihua Wang and co-authors tune orchard care for custard apples in this 2025 study. In Yunnan, heavy watering and fertilizer habits have hurt Annona squamosa yields and fruit quality. The team tested mixes of three watering levels, three fertilizer levels, and three ground covers. Field trials ran over two growing seasons.
Soil nutrients, enzyme activity, and microbe variety all shifted with the mixes. One mix led on soil nutrients, while a straw-mulch mix led on enzymes. That same straw mix gave the heaviest fruit with the best sugar and vitamin levels. A combined scoring method confirmed it as the best overall recipe. The recipe offers growers a greener path to better fruit.
