木瓜在马来西亚广泛种植,在热带和亚热带地区到处都能生长。它在马来西亚是一种普通水果,而且正很快成为一种出口的水果。木瓜是用种子繁殖的,这就引起种植园中植株间的差异。木瓜有三种不同的主要性别类型:雌性、雄性和两性,也有不定性植株。由于存在性别类型的差异,又没有可靠的特征,所以要到开花期才能鉴别。如果一个群体中长出一部分雄性植株来,产量就会受到明显影响。 Papaya is widely grown in Malaysia and grows everywhere in the tropics and subtropics. It is an ordinary fruit in Malaysia and is quickly becoming an export fruit. Papaya is seed-borne, which causes differences among plantations in the plantation. Papaya has three different major genders: female, male and female, as well as indeterminate plants. Due to the gender differences, there is no reliable feature, so to flowering to identify. If a group grows a part of male plants, the yield will be significantly affected.
