It is also used as a dessert after meals and as a meat substitute in fruit-cocktails. [3] It is of a high acidic nature (possibly malic or citric acid) in sweet form. is. Pineapple is the only bromeliac fruit cultivated.

of many other infections, including a cold. [3]
Benefits of pineapple
stimulate digestive power
Pineapple is
a valuable reservoir of vitamin C and vitamin C is an extremely important
nutrient for the functioning of the immune system. It protects the body from
various types of viruses and promotes the body's resistance process against
infectious diseases like colds, flu, ear infections and etc. Vitamin C also
acts as an anti-oxidant that protects the body from free-radical damage. The
accumulation of free radicals in the body causes plaque production, which is a
major cause of cardiovascular diseases.
In studies
related to this field, it has been found that eating pineapple in the morning
can reduce the nausea and vomiting caused by morning sickness. A folk remedy
also suggests that morning sickness can be cured by consuming pineapple juice.
The credit for this benefit goes to the high amount of minerals and vitamins
involved in it, especially vitamin B6.
So the next
time you feel morning sickness, take a bowl of freshly chopped pineapple or
enjoy its juice.
Since
pineapple is a perennial plant, it spends the first month after planting to
make leaf rosettes. At this time, the trunk grows to a length of 20 to 80 cm
and thickens, from which the ga ense planted in a spiral, the narrow pointed
peak leaves extend
This is due
to the fact that in places of native habitat, plants sometimes experience a
severe lack of moisture. The observed shape of the leaf plates is also intended
for water storage, with rain gusts and dew spreading below and below the stems,
where the surface of the pineapple has a fibrous root system.
Water also
accumulates in the succulent pulp of the leaves, for which, if necessary,
supports both the whole plant and the embryo formation. How much does a
pineapple grow until it bears fruit? Pineapple is ready for flowering in 12-18
months after planting. The term may vary depending on the variety and variety
of the plant, but the process of flower and fruit formation is the same in all
species.
On the
broad, leafless extension of the stem, small flowers, attached to the open with
ga spike-shaped flowers. The number of beaters, not exceeding the length of
1.5–2 cm and having lilac or phallus can be up to purple-pink bushes. First,
bisexual flowers open in the lower layers, then the flowers extend to the upper
buds. +
The ovaries
are berries that, after almost formation, begin to merge with each other,
forming a familiar juicy pineapple under a single firm bark.
The matrix
takes 3 to 6 months to mature, after which they are cut. And how does pineapple
grow?
As the fruit
ripens, the plants quickly begin to form daughter side shoots that are located
both at the base of the leaf rose and rosette, as well as at the bottom of the
fruit. When the succulent fruit is pruned, the plant loses its main point of
growth, and further growth may continue due to new shoots.
But in
pineapples sold in stores, even if you look closely, it is unlikely that you
will get at least one seed. How do pineapples grow in plantations and
greenhouses? And where does the seed disappear?
How do
pineapples grow on planting?
As the
pineapple became extremely popular all over the world, farmers engaged in its
cultivation not only in South and Central America, where the plant was first
found and grown, but also in other regions suitable for climatic conditions.
The largest plantations of pineapple exist in Asia, South Africa, Australia,
Australia and the southern United States.
Here,
culture is cultivated by intensive technology using large-fruited early
maturing varieties. Pineapples penetrate the ground in the form of cuttings
with roots at least 20 cm long. The plants are planted in two-rows, leaving a
wide row spacing of about 1.5-2 m between individual pineapples. +
The best
varieties bloom 12 months after planting in the ground. When the crop is
harvested, the plants are pruned, and new ones obtained from the shoots in the
leaf sinuses are planted in their place.
In the
tropics, using the means of mechanical irrigation, it is possible to obtain
modern pest and disease control products, as well as fertile and fertile, in
the open field, three crops per year.
But growing
pineapple on a planting is not everything so easy. It turns out that in order
to get a large planned crop, the plants are forced to bloom. Whereas earlier,
common bonfire was smoked for this, today they use acetylene-containing
plantings. Only under the influence of gas, the pineapple on the plantation
begins to lay flower buds.
The swelling
seen on the long peduncle does not reduce the worries of the farmers. It turns
out that it is possible to achieve a fruit crop by preventing cross pollination
of plants that have no seeds or just their remedy.
For this,
protective measures against insects are used, and protective caps are also
placed over each flower. Indeed, in Hawaii, for example, plants of this species
prefer not to pollinate bees or butterflies, but hummingbirds.
Pineapple
in the greenhouse: an unusual harvest from the summer cottage
In Europe,
pineapples have been grown in greenhouses in Europe since the 16th century, as
tropical guests in South America. Today it is also possible, especially since
modern technologies greatly facilitate the maintenance of pineapples in
greenhouses and reduce the cost of their maintenance. Due to the type of
surface of the root system, the need for pineapple in the soil is limited to a
level of about 20 cm. With proper planning of watering and top dressing, as
well as with the organization of additional illumination for 6-8 hours, the
pineapple will grow, in the photo, no worse than that. Tropical planting. +
The maximum
temperature for growing this crop is 23-30 ° C. The background of low or high
temperatures significantly affects the growth rate of the plant, which is
weakened and can undergo attacks of all kinds of diseases and pests.
