We have researched and found the best variety of Nutmeg with multiple roots which can yield from 2nd year onwards. We are located at Adimaly in Idukki District of Kerala.
The root system is the basic foundation of plants. The Growth and development is double to triple in comparison with single rootstock.
It consists of a primary root used for anchorage and lateral roots with hairs that absorb water and nutrients; and oxygen for respiration.
Multi-root system gives better root anchorage that enables the trees to resist strong winds and other adverse conditions.
When the roots are injured in single root there will be no growth. In multi root , the other roots will support the build-up.
The gestation period (fruiting) of young trees is shortened by one half of the normal waiting time. Physiological maturity is also enhanced.
Multi root system absorbs the essential fertilizer applied, thus minimizing fertilizer losses due to evaporation and leaching.
The effects of multi rootstock grafting on Nutmeg plants showed that different grafts have significant effects in all cases. This superior technology has so many advantages over the usual single rootstock system.Growth and development are accelerated making the tree more fold, More resistance power because of wild nutmeg grafts, Strong roots protect it from adverse weather conditions etc
