male (staminate) – this has male parts and doesn’t produce fruits. Flowers are produced in large numbers in long dropping branches.
The female (pistillate) has female parts only. Flowers are large, situated singly or in clusters near the tree trunk and close to the base of stalk

It is pollinated through cross pollination and produces fruits that are sweetest in all the varieties.
The hermaphrodite- contains both male and female parts on the same plant thus capable of self-pollination.

Pollination is a key component in pawpaw production because it determines fruit set and quality.
Rainfall– they cannot withstand prolonged drought. An annual rainfall of above 1000mm is suitable. Irrigation should be done in low rainfall areas
Soils– the crop does well in light, well drained soils with PH 6-6.5 and rich in nutrients. Roots are very sensitive to waterlogging

Temperature– papaya thrives in warm to hot regions of temperature range of 20-35 degrees centigrade. Fruit is sweeter when grown during warm sunny season.
In good climatic conditions, fruits grow all year round.

Seedlings are transplanted 4-5 weeks after sowing when they have attained 3-4 leaves or 15-20cm height. While transplanting, careful handling is important in order to avoid disturbing the roots.
Plants grown in a seed bed should first be hardened off.

Weeds are plants growing in undesired places. They compete with the target crop for growth factors like nutrients, sunlight, space and water, as well as harboring pathogens which directly affects performance of the crop.
Spray CLAMPDOWN 480SL 150-300/20l, which is a non-selective herbicide used to control both broadleaved and grass weeds keeping the garden weed-free.
Irrigation
This should be done especially if rainfall is inadequate in order to ensure a steady supply of moisture and especially during flowering and fruiting stages.
This is where @IrriHub comes in handy.
