CHOICE GARDEN PINEAPPLE is always a very good demand of Indian pineapples in the internal markets. Commercial cultivation of pineapple in India started only about four decades back. It is in high demand from the processing industry as well. Indian pineapple is exported to Nepal, U.K., U.S, Spain and U.A.E. The main products of export are canned slices, titbits, juice etc.
Pineapple grows well, both in the plains and also at elevations not exceeding 900 metres. It is a humid tropical plant and tolerates neither very high temperature nor frost. Pineapple usually flowers from February to April and the fruits are ready from July to September. Sometimes, off-season flowers appear and they produce fruits in September-December.
Areas with a heavy rainfall are best for pineapple growth. Optimum rainfall is 1400mm per year although it can grow in areas having 500mm to 5550mm of rainfall. The fruit grows well near the seacoast as well as in inland, so long as temperature ranges from 15.5 to 32.50 C. Low temperature, bright sunshine and total shade are harmfull.
There are 4 planting systems in vogue, viz. flat-bed planting, furrow planting, contour planting and trench planting.
The selection of planting material is crucial as the performance of the plants developed depends on the materials planted. It is always advisable to use uniform size material of monotype for getting uniform growth of the plants, enabling uniform cultural operations and getting harvest at 1 time from such a field. Hence selection of right type and size of planting material is essential for commercial planting.
Pineapple is commonly propagated from suckers or slips. Suckers arising from the underground parts of the plant are commonly used. Slips arise from the fruiting stem and from the crown on top of the fruit. After the fruit is harvested, stalks are cut into discs and used for propagation. Plants grown from suckers produce fruits in about 18 months, whereas those from slips and suckers propagated from disc cuttings take over two years.
