Breed
There are several different varieties of avocado.
Fuerte – the most famous breed in the world. A hybrid of Mexican and Guatemalan varieties. The fruit is in the form of green and pear. Weight 5 grams. The result is 20% oil.
Hash – Guatemalan varieties, the fruit is round and ripe in purple, weighs 20 grams.

Pollock – West Indian varieties. The fruits are 3-5 grams. The amount of oil is 3-5%. It grows well in the humid climate of the equatorial region.
Climate and soil
The climate of Bangladesh has proved useful for avocados. The tree planted on the missionaries’ farm in Raikhali and Madhupur in Chittagong district is bearing fruit. It is important for the avocado to have good soil drainage. Otherwise, the roots may be rotten disease. The rainfall does not do much damage.
Fodder production
Avocado descent is possible by adding seeds, branches, organs and twigs. The germination capacity of the seed is not good. The soil should not be given more than 5 cm above the seed. Before transplanting the seeds remove the upper ash and germinate quickly. Seeds are made from 5 to 4 pieces per seed long. Of course, each piece must contain embryos. Its origin is commercially recognized in a unique way. The branch has to be taken with a sheet to cover it. Veneer and cleft methods are the most commonly used for organ mobilization and the color system for twin additions.
Method of production
For commercial avocado cultivation in the garden, it is necessary to plant saplings 3-5 meters away. Fertilizers should be applied regularly. To plant the seedlings, it should be 5 cm deep and 5 m wide and fill it with soil mixed with manure. Doll can be mixed with 2-5 pieces of cow dung and 1 gram TSP. The upper part should be elevated so that the water does not freeze. Two weeks after planting the seedlings, the urea and muret of potash should be mixed with the ground soil of the fodder at 25 g.
Fertilizers and irrigation
Up to the age of five, TSP and mutate of potash can be applied to each tree for 1 gram of urea and 1 gram per year. After five years, fertilizer should be increased gradually. Apply 3-5 pieces of cow dung per tree per year.
These fertilizers should be mixed in two installments from February-March to October-November. There is no need to irrigate avocado. However, irrigation during the dry season will benefit. Irrigation is needed for rapid growth of the plants.
Care
The soil at the base of the tree should not be deeply buried. No need to prune to keep the shape of the tree nice. When the upper branch of the seedling fodder is cut over one meter, the stalks spread.
Collecting fruit
Seed trees bear fruit in 3-5 years. In some species, fruit retention is irregular. If the bark of the tree trunk is lifted in a circle, these trees produce more fruit. The ripe fruit hangs on the tree for a long time. But when ripe in such a condition, the fruit is ripe if kept for a week at a temperature of 25 9-220, and it takes months to ripen at that temperature.
