Features:
- The First Philippine-bred hybrid Papaya developed by the Institute of Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, UP Los Banos (IPB)
- Moderately tolerant to Papaya Ringspot Virus (PRSV)
- Semi-dwarf tree with fruits averaging 1.2-2.0 kg
- Fruit is sweet, yellow orange and firm
Land Preparation
Prepare the land thoroughly by plowing and harrowing.
- High raised beds is advisable to prevent waterlogging. Make 1 m wide bed of 30 cm height and a distance of 2.5m to 3m.
- Mulching of beds is recommended to conserve soil moisture as well as reduce the cost of weeding throughout the cropping season.
- Make 20 cm deep hole in the middle of the bed at 3 m distance between rows.
- Fill the hole with 1-2 kg manure and place basal fertilizer of 25 g 21-0-0 plus 50 g 14-14-14.
- If bed making is not possible make sure to provide good drainage because waterlogging could easily reduce plant population.
Seedling Production and Management
- Soak the seeds in clean water for 5 days and change the water daily.
- Sow the seeds in the seedling trays using the sowing mixture of sand and coir dust at 1:3 ratio.
- Drench Proplant or Previcur after sowing or after pricking at 40ml/16L of water.
- Two days after germination, transfer (prick) each seedling to polyethylene bags (2.5″x5″) containing 3:1:1/2:1/2 coir dust, sand, sterilized garden soil and sterilized manure, respectively.

Transplanting
- 1,100 to 1,340 plants are needed per hectare, depending on the distance of planting.
- Transplant late in the afternoon, remove the plastic bag with the root intact into the soil,
- Fill the hole completely with topsoil.
- Replanting should be done after 1 week to replace missing hills.
- If possible, drench with Proplant at 40ml/16L of water or Alliete at 50g/16L of water after transplanting.
Irrigation
- Irrigate weekly during the dry season
- If there is no bed, provide enough drainage by making canals near the base.
- When fruits are already maturing, water should be kept to the minimum to hasten fruit maturity.

Harvesting
- Harvest the fruits when a tinge of yellow start to appear between the apical ridges or approximately 9 months after transplanting.
- Harvest between 9 am – 3 pm to minimize latex flow that may cause injury to the peel.
- Avoid dropping of the fruit to minimize fruit injury and rotting.
- Place the fruit in a padded container to minimize bruising.
