Abstract
Studies were conducted to determine the effect of calcium in field grown
papaya, cultivated under conventional and organic systems. The organic
system used EM bokashi as fertilizer and four levels of Calcium oxide as
treatments. The addition of calcium increased fruit yields significantly
over that of the conventional system. The potential of managing papaya
in organic systems using EM to enhance yields is presented.
