Advance Planting Materials on Durians (APM)

People have said that it is very difficult to plant grafted durian seedlings in the field. Conventional planting of durians normally occurs when durians are grafted after six months in the nursery. Which means that the height of the grafted scion reached about 6 inches above, where the seedlings aged about one year old.

Field experiences showed that grafted plants (GP)  which are small are  small and left leaves are too delicate and sensitive to open environment. The best solution is to plant APM durians which can survive better and grows faster. Although APM plants may costs higher but  agronomic practices and  plant management is much easier.
