Assalamu Alaikum, brothers and sisters how are you all? Hope you all are well. I'm fine too. Below I will try to highlight the cultivation method of grapefruit.

In fact, to know about the grapefruit fruit, we must first think about the grapefruit plant.

What is a Grapefruit plant?

Grapefruit is a type of lemon-like sour-sweet fruit. English name is Pomelo. The scientific name is Citrus maxima. Also known as grapefruit, pomelo, etc.

Quality of soil and climate:

Grapefruit is best for cultivation in light loam and silt loam soil in our country. Climate Batabi is more suitable for lemon or grapefruit cultivation.

Land saving and preparation:

High and medium high land should be saved for planting grapefruit. The land where grapefruit is to be planted should be well tilled and leveled. We need to make holes for planting seedlings by making the land level and free of weeds.

Planting:

Grapefruit should be planted in a square or rectangular pattern on flat land. Before planting seedlings, dung manure and organic manure should be mixed well with the soil and put in the hole and then the seedlings should be planted. But Jaishta-Ashwin month is the best time to plant grapefruit.

Fertilizer application:

To spread the branches and branches of the tree, it is necessary to dig around the base of the grapefruit tree and apply fertilizer. Moreover, if the roots of the plants are born, they should be cleaned well and if the soil has accumulated, they should be broken. Weeds and soil compaction allow plants to take up food and water and continue normal plant growth. After planting grapefruit seedlings, if the soil at the base of the plant is loosened, the new seedlings will grow faster.

Water and Irrigation:

If there is a lack of water in the grapefruit tree during flowering and fruiting, the fruit will drop. For this reason, irrigation should be done at the time of planting, after fertilization and after 8-10 days during the dry season. Grapefruit or lemongrass cannot tolerate waterlogging. We have to make sure that water does not accumulate at the base of the tree during the rainy season, so we have to drain the water.

Benefits of eating grapefruit:

Eating grapefruit helps prevent colon, pancreatic and breast cancer.

Grapefruit contains a lot of fiber. Grapefruit helps in shedding excess body fat. That's why we should consume grapefruit regularly to reduce body weight.

Consuming a glass of grapefruit juice daily keeps skin and hair healthy.
