Microclimate under the Cup of Papaya Planted in the North-South and East-West Directions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2022
The objective of this work was to evaluate the variations of environmental factors under the canopy of papaya planted in a north-south and east-west orientation. Two areas were studied, one oriented north-south and the other east-west, both planted with a spacing of 3.20 mx 2.40 m, planted in April 2015.
