The most amazing thing, it turns out papaya can be useful to overcome cancer. papaya fruit contains lycopene antioxidants that can reduce cancer-free radicals.

The first step, at the age of 1 month crop the papaya plants on the buds or pupus leaves the youngest. The purpose of this pruning is to increase the productivity of papaya plants and make the papaya stalk to be short. In addition, pruning can also stimulate growth hormone, flowering, and fertilization.
Then wait approximately 10 days until new shoots grow.
After the shoots grow, cut the stems of papaya plants. Leave the stem of papaya more than 15 cm from the ground.
After that let the plants we have been pruning for 7 days or until the new bud buds appear again.
When it passes 7 days and the buds have begun to grow, do the selection of shoots.
After that select one bud that we think is the healthiest and best.
Then leave only one shoot, the rest we cut or we throw away. This action causes the food substance to flow only to one bud so that plant growth faster and will become a stem.
The act of pruning can also be done on old and unproductive plants. So that will grow new shoots and with the young shoots the papaya plant will produce again.
