COMMON MISTAKES THAT CAN BE AVOIDED
 
Planting Wrong Varieties
 
     Buy your cultivars from reliable sources.
 
Handling of Seedling
 
     Careless handling of the seedling from the time of pick-up from the nursery may result in serious injuries to the plant. It is, therefore, necessary to avoid seedling stress by not holding the stem to avoid injury. Hold only the plastic and not the plant itself so it will not be uprooted.
 
     Do not plant the seedlings immediately. Rather, give the seedlings a week to recover from travel stress. If it was under the shade from the nursery, put the seedlings under similar condition upon reaching your farm. Seedlings that need full sunlight should be trained first before finally planting it on the field, thus exposing it to full sunlight condition. Otherwise, it will be scorched (sunburned) and will result in stunted growth.
 
Improper Planting Procedure
 
     With small planting hole the plant cannot grow or expand because of compact soil. Thus, the plants become stunted.
 
     Non-removal of plastic.
 
     Too deep planting
 
Water-logged condition
 
     Waterlogged condition the oxygen cannot penetrate the soil and this result in the roots rotting. Provide drainage canals to avoid too much water.
 
Improper Fertilization
 
     Follow the recommended dosage and NPK requirement. Do not overdose this will lead to acid burning of the roots.
 
Growing of Side Shoots
 
Remove side shoots before the point of union of grafted seedlings this will cause the stunted growth of the cultivars.
 
CAUSES OF SLOW AND STUNTED GROWTH OR MORTALITY
 
No fertilization or wrong application of fertilizer.
 
Waterlogged condition
 
No watering during dry season or insufficient watering.
 
Pest and Diseases
 
Improper location. When plants that need full sunlight are planted in a shaded area or vice-versa.
 
Improper planting procedure.
