Soil Nutrient Requirements | - Custard apple plants require well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a pH range of 6.0-7.0. Here are some of the nutrient requirements for growing custard apple fruit seeds:, Nitrogen: Custard apple plants require nitrogen for healthy growth and fruit production. Organic sources of nitrogen, such as compost or manure, can be added to the soil before planting., Phosphorus: Phosphorus is important for root development and fruit production. A phosphorus-rich fertilizer can be added to the soil before planting or during the growing season., Potassium: Potassium is important for flower and fruit development. A potassium-rich fertilizer can be added to the soil before planting or during the growing season., Calcium: Calcium is important for strong cell walls and healthy fruit development. Lime or gypsum can be added to the soil to increase calcium levels., Magnesium: Magnesium is important for chlorophyll production and photosynthesis.

Sowing Method | - 1) Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours. This will help soften the seed coat and improve germination. 2) Fill a seed tray or pot with well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Make sure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. 3) Place the seeds in the soil, about 2-3 cm deep. Cover the seeds with soil and lightly press down. 4) Water the soil gently using a spray bottle or watering can. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. 5) Place the seed tray or pot in a warm, sunny location with temperatures around 25-30°C. Custard apple seeds germinate best in warm temperatures. 6) Seedlings should emerge in 2-3 weeks. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into individual pots. 7) Water the seedlings regularly and fertilize them with a balanced fertilizer. 8) It's important to note that custard apple trees can take several years to produce fruit, so patience is required when growing custard apple from seed.
