Seed large with 2 seed coats and 2 large cotyledons enclosing a small embryo GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT 1. 2. 3. 4. The seed is recalcitrant; at 25 degree/15 degree night germinates within 3 weeks after sowing, the radicle emerges first, Propagation by grafting, it is easy to be grafted probably its soft trunk. Provide dichogamous flowering behaviour; type A flowers are female in the morning and male in the afternoon of the following day Type B: flowers open as female in the afternoon and male of the following morning. Overlapping of flowering due to climatic changes may result in fruit formation Fruit matures during 6-12 months after flowering. The fruit will not mature on the tree, but several days after picking the flesh will be soft and creamy. ECOLOGY 1. SOIL: REEQUIRES WELL DRAINED, water logging more than 24 hours can kill the tree; soil temperature for the best growth its roots arround 18-28ºC. 2. Root growth is shallow, low frequency of root hairs limits the uptake of water and nutrientsRainfall 300 mm per year (need additional irrigated). Maintain of soil moisture is essential for stable yield. 3. Soil pH between 5.0-5.8 is optimum or growth and fruit yield. Figures ECOLOGY 1. 2. 3. 4.

Most of our acocado trees are derived from seeds, causes variation in fruiting, quality and continous yield Vegetative propagation by grafting is more desirable since its soft trunk Seeds are extrcted from flesh, than directly sown due to its recalcitrant trait. Seven days after extraction seeds may be unable to germinate. After about 2-3 months seedlings are ready for grafting The characteristic for rootstock are having roots system penetrate depth to the soil; resistance to nematode and root rot. During seedlings stage some shading crops i.e bananas are planted between the acocado. Some annual crops are also preferable (corn, soybean etc). One planting hole + 10 litre of framyard manure + 300 g of phosphorus are beneath the 50 cm depth into the soil, soil pH maintain from 5.0-5.8 by adding dolomite or lime. Planting distance 6-12 m or 280 -69 trees per ha . DISEASES AND PESTS 1. 2. 3. ººº Root rot: Phytophthora cinnamomi, the fungi lives in the soil and attacks the new roots when the soil temperatures between 13-32ºC. Controll by injection of the trunk with the systemic fungicide potassium phosphanate, repeated annually. Other P. cinnamomi are P. citricola and P. heveae and P. palmivora. Anthracnose: Colletotrichum gloesporides; causes fruit loss in Indoesnesia. Under moist condition sprying with copper is necessary. Cercospora spot of the fruit by Pseudo-cercospora purpurea is a serous fungus disease. HERVESTING FRUIT MATURITY 1. Maturity is the the ability of the fruit to soften after picking from the tree. Some cultivars drop afterreaching maturation therefore the fruit should be picked before fully mature. 2. Indindonesia fruits are picking before mature by climbing of the tree. But when the fruits fall down will broke the fruit and this causes fruit rot. The tree must be in small size, low. This grafting or budding tecnique should be appied. 3.After picking the fruits are shielded from direct sunlight. YIELD: 1. In sOUTHaFRICA 5 T/HA; California 4,5 t/ha and in Indonesia (see data above). 2. Under good management of the orchard the yield may reaceh 13.4 t/ha in California, 10-14 t /ha in Australia, South africa and Israel. HANDLING AFTER HARVEST 1.

In Central America (Mexico etc) fruit of avocado is used to nourish the people. The rest of the world is only for diet. In Indonesia is possible to offer this good fruit for infants (avocado flour) In industrial trade also possible: medicinal (anticholesterol agent), soap; skin care etc. There must be investigated the chemical contents for industrial purposes. Promotion of this healthy fruit should be broader Good fruit quality should be offered to be sold in elit market (hyper mart; supermarket etc). Where the room temperature is needed for prolong its shelflife AVOCADO IN ARROUND MALANG 1. Malang is known as avocado center the larger area is in Kecamatan Tumpang, Ngantang, Singosari etc. Based on some surveys conducted by the students ther are some avocado types. OTHER ASPECTS • Avocados contain oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that may help to lower cholesterol. In one study of people with moderately high cholesterol levels, individuals who ate a diet high in avocados showed clear health improvements. After seven days on the diet that included avocados, they had significant decreases in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, along with an 11% increase in health promoting HDL cholesterol. • Avocados are a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure. Adequate intake of potassium can help to guard against circulatory diseases, like high blood pressure, heart disease or stroke. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Association has authorized a health claim that states: "Diets containing foods that are good sources of potassium and low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke." OTHER ASPECTS • One cup of avocado has 23% of the Daily Value for folate, a nutrient important for heart health. To determine the relationship between folate intake and heart disease, researchers followed over 80,000 women for 14 years using dietary questionnaires. They found that women who had higher intakes of dietary folate had a 55% lower risk of having heart attacks or fatal heart disease. Another study showed that individuals who consume folate-rich diets have a much lower risk of cardiovascular disease or stroke than those who do not consume as much of this vital nutrient. • • Promote Optimal Health Not only are avocados a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid, which has recently been shown to offer significant protection against breast cancer, but it is also a very concentrated dietary source of the carotenoid lutein; it also contains measurable amounts of related carotenoids (zeaxanthin, alphacarotene and beta-carotene) plus significant quantities of tocopherols (vitamin E). In a laboratory study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, an extract of avocado containing these carotenoids and tocopherols inhibited the growth of both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. But when researchers tried exposing the prostate cancer cells to lutein alone, the single carotenoid did not prevent cancer cell growth and replication. Not only was the whole matrix of carotenoids and tocopherols in avocado necessary for its ability to kill prostate cancer cells, but the researchers also noted that the significant amount of monounsaturated fat in avocado plays an important role. Carotenoids are lipid (fat)soluble, which means fat must be present to ensure that these bioactive carotenoids will be absorbed into the bloodstream. Just as Nature intends, avocado delivers the whole heath-promoting package. • • OTHER ASPECTS • • • • • • Increase Your Absorption of Carotenoids from Vegetables Enjoying a few slices of avocado in your tossed salad, or mixing some chopped avocado into your favorite salsa will not only add a rich, creamy flavor, but will greatly increase your body's ability to absorb the health-promoting carotenoids that vegetables provide. A study published in the March 2005 issue of the Journal of Nutrition tested the hypothesis that since carotenoids are lipophilic (literally, fat-loving, which means they are soluble in fat, not water), consuming carotenoid-rich foods along with monounsaturated-fat-rich avocado might enhance their bioavailability. Not only did adding avocado to a salad of carrot, lettuce and baby spinach or to salsa greatly increase study participants' absorption of carotenoids from these foods, but the improvement in carotenoid availability occurred even when a very small amount-as little as 2 ounces-of avocado was added. Adding avocado to salad increased absorption of alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and lutein 7.2, 15.3, and 5.1 times higher, respectively, than the average amount of these carotenoids absorbed when avocado-free salad was eaten. Adding avocado to salsa increased lycopene and beta-carotene absorption 4.4 and 2.6 times higher, respectively, than the average amount of these nutrients absorbed from avocado-free salsa. Since avocados contain a large variety of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, as well as heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, eating a little avocado along with carotenoid-rich vegetables and fruits is an excellent way to improve your body's ability to absorb carotenoids while also receiving other nutritional-and taste-benefits. OTHER ASPECTS • • Avocado Phytonutrients Combat Oral Cancer Oral cancer is even more likely to result in death than breast, skin, or cervical cancer, with a mortality rate of about 50% due to late detection, according to Great Britain's Mouth Cancer Foundation. Avocados may offer a delicious dietary strategy for the prevention of oral cancer. Phytonutrients in Hass avocados, the most readily available of the more than 500 varieties of avocados grown worldwide, target multiple signaling pathways, increasing the amount of free radicals (reactive oxygen species) within precancerous and cancerous human oral cell lines, that leads to their death, but cause no harm to normal cells. ? Semin Cancer Biol. 2007 May 17. Earlier research by UCLA scientists also indicates that Hass avocados may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer as well. When analyzed, Hass avocados were found to contain the highest content of lutein among commonly eaten fruits as well as measurable amounts of related carotenoids (zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene, and beta-carotene). Lutein accounted for 70% of the measured carotenoids, and the avocado also contained significant quantities of vitamin E. J Nutr Biochem. 2005 Jan;16(1):23-30. OTHER ASPECTS • • • • How to Select and Store A ripe, ready to eat avocado is slightly soft but should have no dark sunken spots or cracks. If the avocado has a slight neck, rather than being rounded on top, it was probably tree ripened and will have better flavor. A firmer, less mature fruit can be ripened at home and will be less likely to have bruises. The Hass avocado weighs about 8 ounces on average and has a pebbled dark green or black skin, while the Fuerte avocado has smoother, brighter green skin. Avoid Fuertes with skin that is too light and bright. Florida avocados, which can be as large as 5 pounds, have less fat and calories, but their taste is not as rich as California varieties. A firm avocado will ripen in a paper bag or in a fruit basket at room temperature within a few days. As the fruit ripens, the skin will turn darker. Avocados should not be refrigerated until they are ripe. Once ripe, they can be kept refrigerated for up to a week. If you are refrigerating a whole avocado, it is best to keep it whole and not slice it in order to avoid browning that occurs when the flesh is exposed to air. If you have used a portion of a ripe avocado, it is best to store the remainder in the refrigerator. Store in a plastic bag, wrap with plastic wrap, or place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Sprinkling the exposed surface(s) with lemon juice will help to prevent the browning that can occur when the flesh comes in contact with oxygen in the air OTHER ASPECTS • • • • • • Safety Avocados and Latex Allergy Like bananas and chestnuts, avocados contain substances called chitinases that are associated with the latex-fruit allergy syndrome. There is strong evidence of the cross-reaction between latex and these foods. If you have a latex allergy, you may very likely be allergic to these foods as well. Processing the fruit with ethylene gas increases these enzymes; organic produce not treated with gas will have fewer allergy-causing compounds. In addition, cooking the food may deactivate the enzymes. Nutritional Profile Avocados are a good source of vitamin K, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C, folate and copper. Avocados are also a good source of potassium: they are higher in potassium than a medium banana. Although they are fruits, avocados have a high fat content of between 71 to 88% of their total calories - about 20 times the average for other fruits. A typical avocado contains 30 grams of fat, but 20 of these fat grams are health-promoting monounsaturated fats, especially oleic acid. • • • • In-Depth Nutritional Profile In addition to the nutrients highlighted in our ratings chart, an in-depth nutritional profile for Avocados is also available. This profile includes information on a full array of nutrients, including carbohydrates, sugar, soluble and insoluble fiber, sodium, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids and more. Introduction to Food Rating System Chart In order to better help you identify foods that feature a high concentration of nutrients for the calories they contain, we created a Food Rating System. This system allows us to highlight the foods that are especially rich in particular nutrients. The following chart shows the nutrients for which this food is either an excellent, very good, or good source (below the chart you will find a table that explains these qualifications). If a nutrient is not listed in the chart, it does not necessarily mean that the food doesn't contain it. It simply means that the nutrient is not provided in a sufficient amount or concentration to meet our rating criteria. (To view this food's in-depth nutritional profile that includes values for dozens of nutrients - not just the ones rated as excellent, very good, or good - please use the link below the chart.) To read this chart accurately, you'll need to glance up in the top left corner where you will find the name of the food and the serving size we used to calculate the food's nutrient composition. This serving size will tell you how much of the food you need to eat to obtain the amount of nutrients found in the chart. Now, returning to the chart itself, you can look next to the nutrient name in order to find the nutrient amount it offers, the percent Daily Value (DV%) that this amount represents, the nutrient density that we calculated for this food and nutrient, and the rating we established in our rating system. For most of our nutrient ratings, we adopted the government standards for food labeling that are found in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's "Reference Values for Nutrition Labeling."
