First and foremost we have to start by ensuring proper condition of our soil. What determines the quality of the soil in the case of avocado farming is the value of pH, which is recommended to be between 5 to 7.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other than this foundational step, you have to make sure that there are no water-logging or drainage issues. The reason for this is simply, avocados are extremely sensitive and intolerant to bad saline conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing The Right Variety for Indian Subcontinent<\/h3>\n

Alright, once you ensure you have proper space and right conditions, now it is time to choose the right variety of Avocado for your farm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is essential here to understand that avocados by their nature cannot survive the climate of India. To achieve its proper growth it needs similar conditions to tropical and subtropical climate and land. Meaning the temperature must be between 3 to 32 degree Celsius.<\/span><\/p>\n

The condition of having the right temperature is the reason why most avocado production in India is concentrated in the southern part of the continent or near the Himalayan regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, with all that in mind, Here are two most recommended avocado varieties for your avocado plant in India that can withstand the climate. Namely; <\/span>Fuerte and Hass.<\/b><\/p>\n

The former, Fuerte, is capable of producing perfect medium sized fruits which are quite popular to the Indian consumer. It has mind taste, smooth texture and most importantly unlike its counterpart it can survive the temperature difference to a good reasonable degree.<\/span><\/p>\n

The latter, Hass, however, is recommended if you are seeking to use the Avocado as raw material or ingredients in other consumer products like cosmetics. The reason behind this is simply it produces more butter consistency and high oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next step is to prepare the seeds. One has to keep in mind that avocado seeds have a limited lifespan, just around 2 to 3 weeks. Though depending on the type of the seeds they can survive the tropical warmer zone. However, it is still better to take precautions.<\/span><\/p>\n
