Many farmers venture into pineapple production because of high income guarantee. Likewise, pineapple production does not require sophisticated technology because the plant could easily adapt to varied type of soil, climate condition, and to relatively difficult growing condition. In the northeastern Cagayan alone, more than a hundred hectares are planted with pineapple, which manifests the profitability of pineapple production as an enterprise. With the tremendous increase of production area devoted to pineapple, its fruit is very abundant in Northeastern Cagayan from the month of June to August. Because of this, the pineapple fruit is sold at a cheap price during the period. To solve the problem of the great harvest coupled with the cheap cost of pineapples during the peak season, farmers are encouraged to practice off-season production through flower inducement. By doing this, higher income will be generated because the farmers can dictate the price due to lack of competition in the market. On the other hand, the abundance of pineapple during its peak season is a good opportunity for the housewives of pineapple growers to conduct pineapple processing activities. This would ensure that pineapple products are available when fresh pineapple is no longer available in the market. Since the products will be sold during off-season, value-adding to the products is guaranteed. Nutrition Facts Scientifically, it is known as “Ananas comosus” and belongs to the family of Bromeliaceae, in the genus; Ananas. Pineapple is a tropical, perennial, drought-tolerant plant Nutrition Facts Cagayan State University Gonzaga Campus Research, Development and Extension Office that grows up to 5-8 ft. in height and spreads around about three to four ft. It is essentially a short, stout stem with a rosette of waxy long, needle-tipped leaves. foods rich in vitamin C helps the body protect from scurvy; develop resistance against infectious agents (boosts immunity) and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals from the body. The fruit is described as compound (multiple) type of fruit that develops from many small fruits fused together around central core. Its pulp is juicy and fleshy with the stem serving as a supporting fibrous core. The outer skin features rough, tough, scaly rind. The color in the ripe fruits may change to yellow, orange-yellow or reddish. Internally, its juicy flesh may range from creamy white to yellow color and has a mix of sweet and tart taste with rich flavor. Each fruit measures in size up to 12 inches long and weighs 1 to 8 pounds or more. • It also contains small amount Vitamin A (provides 58 IU per 100 g) and beta-carotene levels. These compounds are known to have antioxidant properties. Vitamin A is also required in maintaining healthy mucus membranes, skin, and is essential for vision. Studies have suggested that consumption of natural fruits rich in flavonoids helps the human body to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers. Health Benefits of Pineapple Fruit • Fresh pineapple is low in calories. Nonetheless, it is a storehouse of several unique health promoting compounds, minerals and vitamins that are essential for optimum health. • In addition, this fruit is rich in B-complex group of vitamins like folates, thiamin, pyridoxine, riboflavin and minerals like copper, manganese and potassium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids, helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Copper is a helpful cofactor for red blood cell synthesis. Manganese is a co-factor for the enzyme superoxide dismutase, which is a very powerful free radical scavenger. • 100 g fruit provides just about 50 calories equivalent to that of apples. Its flesh contains no saturated fats or cholesterol; however, it is a rich source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber like pectin. See the table below for an in-depth analysis of nutrients: • Pineapple fruit contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain that digests food by breaking down protein. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting and anti-cancer properties. Studies have shown that consumption of pineapple regularly helps fight against arthritis, indigestion and worm infestation. Nutritive Value per 100 g • Fresh pineapple is an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin; vitamin C. 100 g. fruit contains 47.8 or 80% of this vitamin. Vitamin C is required for the collagen synthesis in the body. Collagen is the main structural protein in the body required for maintaining the integrity of blood vessels, skin, organs, and bones.

Production Management Cagayan State University Gonzaga Campus Research, Development and Extension Office Depth of surface soil should not be lesser than two (2) feet. Plow and harrow the field two times with 7 or 10 days interval to allow weed seeds to grow and to be eradicated. Preparation of Planting Materials Among the important aspects of production is the selection and preparation of planting materials because it dictates the uniform growth and fruiting of plants. It is in this aspect where we select and clean the planting materials to be sure that they are healthy and are not carrying any kind of pests and diseases. • Planting materials. The crown, slip and sucker may be used as planting materials. The crown is found at the top of thefruit; the slip at the buttom of the fruit, and the sucker emanates from the base of the mother pllant. However, using the suckers is recommended because they are almost in the same size, and they fruit uniformly when grown in desirable cultural mangement practices. • Collection of planting materials. It is suggested that plant- ing materials (slip) will be collected two to three months after harvesting to ensure desirable size. Collect planting materials gently to avoid damage. Discard planting materials that are with damage, with sign of disease, and those that are abnormal or deformed. While collecting, segregate the fruits according to size. Planting materials of the same size will be planted together. • Size of Planting materials. Size of planting materials are cat- egorizeed into four – smallest (8 centimeters (cm) height and below), small (8-12 cms), regular (13- 16 cms.), and large (17 cms or taller). All the different sizes can be used provided they are planted in the same place. However, using regular size of materials is preferable if they are available. Production Management • Hauling and distributing of planting materials. Haul collect- ed planting materials to the place where they will be planted. Use any hauling material but avoid causing damage to the leaves and other parts of the plant, for it may serve as entry point or vector of plant pests and diseases. Distribute the planting materials in the field by scaterring them strategically throughout the planting area. Avoid having big piles to avoid occurence of diseases. Before planting, the materials may be exposed in the field for one to two weeks to harden them and to prevent rotting when planted in the open field. However, in order to completely eradicate the prevalence of heart and butt rot which are the most common diseases of pineapple, dip them to Alliete or Ridomil solution following the manufacturer’s recommendation. Planting Distance of planting has something to do with the size of fruit. If the preference of your buyers is large fruit, you may plant 30,000 to 40,000 per hectare. If they prefer average size of fruit, you may plant 45,000 to 50,000 per hectare. Planting method may be double row or single row. If the single row is used, plant with a distance of 0.8-1.0 meter between rows and 0.25- 0.3 meters between hills. For the double row, plant with a distance of 0.8-1.0 x 0.5 x 0.25 or 0.30 meters. However, to maximize the use of the area, it is more advisable to use the double row to give you a plant population of 45,000 to 50,000 per hectare. Plant the planting materials in the furrows with a depth of 5-10 centimeters or depending on the size of the planting materials. Use Production Management Cagayan State University Gonzaga Campus Research, Development and Extension Office string to straighten the rows for ease of weeding and other cultural management practices. Weeding Weeding is also one among the critical factors in pineapple production. Weeds compete in the absorption of food nutrients, and sunlight. They also act as hosts of harmful pests and diseases. To prevent rapid growth of weeds, consider thorough land preparation. Spraying Karmex or Diuron one month after planting will help prevent the growth of weeds for around three months after planting. Use 2-3 kilograms per hectare. For other advent of weeds, it is advisable to uproot them by hand weeding. Fertilizing Fertilizing is essential to attain ideal plant growth and vigor. Generally, in the absence of soil analysis, this tabulated fertilizer application guide will ensure ideal growth of the plants. However, it is more advisable to let your soil be analyzed to be sure of the kind and amount of fertilizer to be applied. Month/s after planting Kind of Fertilizer Amount to be applied / plant 1 Complete (14-14-14) 1 Table Spoon 3 Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) 2 Table Spoon 6 Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) 2 Table Spoon 10 Ammonium Sulfate (21-0-0) 2 Table Spoon) Place the fertilizer at the base of the plant then cover it with soil for the first and second application. You may use animal drawn plow to cover the soil and eradicate weeds. Production Management Control of Pests and Diseases Pineapple are damaged by some major pests and diseases which results to low production, and higher expenses of farmers. The surroundings, environment, and cultural management practices are contributory to the advent of some pests and diseases. We need to pay attention to these factors so we can apply solutions to eradicate their existence. Among the most prevalent pests and diseases are: • Heart Rot (Pasik) Heart rot is a kind of disease that causes rotting of the plants. It is caused by presence of molds (Phytophtora parasitica). Rotting starts at the newly grown leaves and later spread to the other parts of the plant until it dies. Higher cases of this kind of disease is observed in plantation with stagnant water and sticky soil. Planting materials that are not properly prepared from point of origin to the planting site are most likely very much affected. The disease is more prevalent to newly planted plants. Symptoms: yellowish or reddish color of young leaves, drying of leaf margins, rotting of lower leaves, and odorly smell of the plant. Control Measures: 1. Expose planting materials to sunlight most specially the base for a period of 2 weeks before planting 2. Plant at least a month before the start of the rainy season. Production Management Cagayan State University Gonzaga Campus Research, Development and Extension Office 3. Avoid damage in the leaves of the planting materials. 4. Be sure that the planting area has a good drainage. 5. Plant above the furrow to avoid water logging 6. Prevent placing of soil at the heart of the young plant 7. Observe cleanliness of the farm throughout. 8. Dip planting materials with Alliete with a mixture of 2.5 grams per liter if necessary. • Butt Rot But rot is a kind of disease that causes rotting of the plant which starts at the base. Syptoms of this are rotting at the base of the plant, and immediate wilting of the leaves until it eventually dies. The disease can be prevented or eradicated by dipping the planting materials with Alliete solution. Avoid planting in an area with stagnant water and avoid damaging the leaves of the planting materials which because it will become an entry for molds. • Mealy Bug Mealy bugs are insects that suck the young leaves of plants which causes yellowing and stagnant growth. Symptoms: reddish leaves, drying of some part of the plant, fading of green color, and stagnant growth of roots. Mealy bugs grow with ants; its honeydew-like secretion are ate by ants. Ants also act as vectors of the mealy bug in transferring from one plant to another. Spray Sumicidin solution or any chemical effective in the control of insects to solve this problem. • Rats Rats are also threat in the production of pineapple specially if the farm is isolated. They eat developing flowers, young Production Management fruits, and eventually the ripe fruit. Advent of rats are prevalent if your plantation and its surroundings are not clean. It is easy to control rats for as long as you follow the procedure in eradicating them. Here are some tips to eradicate rats in your surrounding: 1. Place baits just enough to be eaten by few rats in strategic places in your plantation; it can be a dried small shrimp, roasted rice, or anything they like most. 2. Observe if all the baits were consumed. If so, add more in the next baiting until you can determine the whole population of rats in your area. Rats spread the availability of food to other rats they meet in the area (pamphlet,Department of Agriculture). 3. If you think all rats in the area had already known that there is an available food in your baiting area, in the next bating, abruptly give bait mixed with poison (racumin or any recommended rodenticide). 4. It is presumed that all rats in your area had eaten bait with poison because they are already used to be fed earlier; then eventually, all rats in your area will die. Flower Inducement of Pineapple Procedure • Wait for one year after planting. • Determine if there are around 3035 developed leaves or when the plant is fully developed. • Use Ethrel mixed with Urea or Calcium Carbide. • Mix the flower inducer with water based on the manufacturer’s recommendation. Production Management Cagayan State University Gonzaga Campus Research, Development and Extension Office • Place 50 ml. of the mixed solution at the “heart” of the pineapple plant. • Apply when the leaves are dry. • The plant will bear flower in 45 days. • 50 liters water – 2.5 kgs. calcium carbide Harvesting Calculated Mixture of Flower Inducer and Water in a Given Number of Plants Flower Inducer to be used: ethrel + urea • • 20,000 plants @ 50 ml per plant = 1,000,000 ml. divided by 1,000 = 1,000 liters • • 1,000 liters to be mixed with 1,000 ml. or 1 liter Ethrel and 20 kilograms urea If mixed in different liters of solutions: • 16 liters water – 16 ml ethrel + 320 grams urea • 20 liters water - 20 ml ethrel + 400 grams urea • 40 liters water – 40 ml ethrel + 800 grams urea If the fruits are fully grown (mostly 5 to 6 months after flowering), or when you observe yellow color at the base of the fruit and the eye-like structures are already flat, they are now ready to be harvested. If you are going to sell your product in far places, harvest them when around 5-10% of the fruit turned yellow. Post- Harvest Handling After harvesting, pineapple fruits should be given immediate attention because they are perishable and they easily rot. Just like other vegetables, their quality deteriorates when not handled properly. It is estimated that a farmer loses around 40 % of his income when fruits are not handled properly. Benefits derived from proper post-harvest handling: • Longer shelf life • 50 liters water – 50 ml ethrel + 1 kg. urea • Maintain quality after harvest Flower Inducer to be used: calcium carbide (CaC2) • Avoid spread of diseases and rotting of fruit • 20,000 plants @ 50 ml per plant = 1,000,000 ml divided by 1,000= 1,000 liters • 1,000 liters to be mixed with 30 kgs. calcium carbide If mixed with different liters of solutions: • Avoid wilting of fruit • Decrease number of reject fruits • Higher price • Easier to sell • 16 liters water – 480 grams calcium carbide • 20 liters water – 600 grams calcium carbide • 30 liters water – 900 grams calcium carbide • 40 liters water – 1.2 kgs. calcium carbide Recommended Procedure: • Harvest fruit at desirable age and ripeness according to specific use. Production Management Production Management Cagayan State University Gonzaga Campus Research, Development and Extension Office • If fruits are brought to far places, harvest them when around 5-10 % turned yellow. • Use baskets in hauling fruits; place protective materials like used newspapers, banana leaves, etc. to prevent them from being damaged. • Sort good fruits from damaged ones. • Place protective materials for partitions at the buttom of the hauling vehicles. • Arrange the fruits according to size and maturity or ripeness. • When brought to far places, dip the fruit in 2% thiabendazole (brand name: TECTO) for 2 minutes, then air-dry before packing. • In packing, place the fruits in a wooden or plastic crate with newspapers or banana leaves as protection. • In storing, store fruit in a refrigerator with a temperature of not lower than 180 centigrade so that they will not be destroyed through excessive cold.
