Cashew trees are created Fruitful Cloves

PADANG indonesia, guava tree with clove buds were united, thus producing the fruit of clove. Thus the results of research from the Office of Food Security Padang, West Sumatra Province, Rasmi R, S.St. M.Sc.

"The technology is quite simple. Among other things, which have relatively large rose-cut branches. After the young sprout directly connected with clove buds. After 21 days entris will converge, it will pop a clove cloves ready to bear fruit,"

According to him, the connection of the guava tree (which is used as rootstock) with clove bud clove will produce without bothering to plant from scratch.

"Clove Eugenia aromatica` or `the plants from the island of Zanzibar was once the belle of the plantation in Indonesia," said Rasmi.

However, it is now declining because of the relative prestige of the clove monopoly trade system, quotas and plant pest or disease. With the decline of cloves, clove research becomes unattractive.

Engineering clove cultivation is done to enhance the research interests of cloves again so its economic value can be seen widely.

Splicing of clove and guava can be done because both belong to one genus, namely Eugenia. Cashew itself has a few species, such as guava and rose apple rivet.

"As a foundation in the science of plant cultivation and biological science to explain that one genus of plants that can be done grafting (graft), patch (grafting), and other wet nurse," said Rasmin.

Known, the resistance is the best guava guava rivet. In the region of West Sumatra, cashew is grown in Solok. Although still burning beneath the rod, pink is still alive.

Engineering culture must maintain both types of plant resistance to be crossed.
