Managment of varieties of pineapple

Preparation area

Select the area that could accommodate the need for a healthy growth of trees and lush pineapple and operations can be performed easily without obstruction.

According to selected characteristics:
- the top layer of the soil (topsoil)
- loam soil.
- good soil fertility.
- the land has water holding capacity.
- well drained.
- flat or undulating ground a little.
- have sufficient water resources.

Cleaning area
- clean of shrubs and bushes.
- Cutting trees and chopped wood.
- Compile and burn after the tree becomes dry.
- poison weeds.

Construction of roads, drains and terraces
- Road estate was built after the area clean, starting with a plot of land roads and subsequently rejected. Ditch was built to plan and control the flow of water and as a source of convenience for the poison, and fertilizer. Terraces are built on steep slopes to prevent erosion.


Dense soil
- do two times with a plate and with rotovator (rotary plow) to land.

Mineral
- once with a plate and rotovator (rotary plow)

Steep slopes
- Built on the terrace without a plow.

Drainage
In peat areas, drainage systems should be built with more care, as appropriate, especially in the aspects of the size (depth and width). It is intended to avoid soil area becomes too dry or vice versa.

Types of drains

Main - size = 1.5 x 1.2 x 1.2
Second - size = 1.2 x 0.9 x 0.9
Farm - size = 0.9 x 0.6 x 0.6

Drainage systems are not well designed to accelerate the depreciation of the water level can lead to soil drought continues and causes the growth of trees will be disturbed.

Felling and land clearing
Conducted in the summer, 3-4 weeks and then will dry wood and burned.

Construction of roads and lanes
Large wooden cut 2.5m long, arranged horizontally on the roads proposed as a liner base. Causeway laterite soil 10-20cm thick.
