Use of Ethephon and Monopotassiumphosphate Combined with Potassium Chlorate to Induce Off-season Flowering of Longan cv. Daw in Rainy Season

Study on using ethephon and monopotassiumphosphate combined with potassium chlorate to induce off-season flowering of longan cv. Daw in rainy season was carried out during 12 May 2010 to 15 December 2010. The experiment was designed base on completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications as followed; 1) control (no potassium chlorate and no foliar spray with fertilizer) 2) soil drench with potassium chlorate at 15 g /m2 of canopy diameter 3) foliar spray with fertilizer 0-52-34 1% and ethephon 400 mg/L and 4) soil drench with potassium chlorate at 15 g /m2 combined with foliar spray with fertilizer 0-52-34 1% and ethephon 400 mg/L. The result revealed that longan plants treated with potassium chlorate at 15 g /m2 as soil drench combined with 1% of 0-52-34 and ethephon 400 mg/L was induced off-season flowering in rainy season and flowered ealier 7 days than only potassium chlorate treatment up to 7 days. Moreover, this treatment gave the highest percentage of flowering (86%), flower panicle type (100%), perfect flower (15%) and fruit setting (92%), while as only potassium chlorate treatment had the percentage of flowering (66%), flower panicle type (46%) and fruit setting (52%). However, the control treatment and only foliar spray with 1% of 0-52-34 and ethephon 400 mg/L treatment were not produced flower at all.

In the beginning, we can grow other crops in between the rows of fruit added. Bordered income supplement such as mango, guava, longan than it can yield. We would be extra income too. Mix before planting. If longan grown gradually eliminated later. Or be planted together would not hurt. One side benefit also allows the wind to topple the longan easy, especially when a storm.

2. Planting distance adjacent to maximize use of space. The planting distance was close to pruning, canopy control and use of potassium chlorate. Encourage flowering. Longan planting distance is close to the number of trees planted per acre higher. In a building adjacent to the garden produce is not widespread. Possibly due to a short lesson from fruit grown closer. Not successful in the past. Control is difficult because longan canopy pruning on flowering year is leap year. However, after the discovery of potassium chlorate induced flowering of longan have. Concept planting longan to close it back up again. Which form the wake longan term proximity are several types.

2.1 Transplant phase aligned row Bermudian. submarines. was a form of planting similar cropping system away but with spacing narrower than a square spacing of 4x4 5x5 m or. Rectangle 3x6 4x6 m spacing, which can bring the machine into operation more convenient in the garden square.

2.2. Aligned row planting distance pair is set to grow a pair of adjacent rows alternating with rows separated by a machine to perform a task. Number of trees per acre is increasing more and more space to increase productivity. But in a humid environment may cause an outbreak of diseases and insect pests of longan very

2.3. Playing against a growing group is growing together to produce a group of techniques to control the canopy pruning. Increase the yield of fruits. 3. planting system level. longan cultivation systems that help prevent and reduce leaching. Or erosion of soil in areas with steep slopes. This alarm system is to be planted on areas with slopes less than

3. Percent of all distance of 100 meters to a height of 3 meters or more up or down to make up the level. Prepare the planting area need to be made, or steps. The elevation of the area where the plant is difficult to work in the garden than other methods.

Did You know About longan

The longan tree can grow up to 6 to 7 metres in height, and the plant is very sensitive to frost. Longan trees require sandy soil and temperatures that do not typically go below 4.5 degrees Celsius (40.1 degrees Fahrenheit). Longans and lychees bear fruit at around the same time of the year. The longan translated literally as “dragon eye is so named because it resembles an eyeball when its fruit is shelled (the black seed shows through the translucent flesh like a pupil/iris). The seed is small, round and hard, and of an enamel-like, lacquered black. The fully ripened, freshly harvested shell is bark-like, thin, and firm, making the fruit easy to shell by squeezing the fruit out as if one is “cracking” a sunflower seed. When the shell has more moisture content and is more tender, the fruit becomes less convenient to shell. The tenderness of the shell varies due to either premature harvest, variety, weather conditions, or transport/storage conditions. The fruit is edible, extremely sweet, juicy and succulent in superior agricultural varieties, and apart from being eaten fresh, is also often used in East Asian soups, snacks, desserts, and sweet-and-sour foods, either fresh or dried, sometimes canned with syrup in supermarkets. The taste is quite similar to lychees. Dried longan, called guìyuán in Chinese, are often used in Chinese cuisine and Chinese sweet dessert soups. In Chinese food therapy and herbal medicine
