Occurrence of non-productive staminate trees is a problem when dioecious types of papaya varieties are grown from seds.The staminates in papaya range normally from 50-60 per cent (Naik,1949 and Narasimhan,1949)and the requirement of staminates for pollination is 5 to 10 per cent (Naik.1949).It is generally not possible to identify the sex of plants before they flower.As such transplanting the plants. after identifying the sex with a view to minimize the staminates in plantation of papaya was attempted by adopting transplanting flowered trees.
