Exploiting the potentials of lesser known indigenous tropical fruits Malaysia

Wong Kai Choo, . (1993) Exploiting the potentials of lesser known indigenous tropical fruits Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]

Popular local fruits such as durians rambutans cempedak and mangosteen are native to Malaysia. They are more superior in fruit quality than their progenitors in the Malaysian forests; mainly through identification of superior genotypes and vegetatively propagating the selected individuals. The species already in cultivation account for only a small percentage of the diverse fruit-tree resources in our tropical rain forests. There still remain many more indigenous fruit species which can be brought into cultivation in a similar manner as the familiar fruit species. This paper highlights some of these fruit species

Abstract

Popular local fruits such as durians rambutans cempedak and mangosteen are native to Malaysia. They are more superior in fruit quality than their progenitors in the Malaysian forests; mainly through identification of superior genotypes and vegetatively propagating the selected individuals. The species already in cultivation account for only a small percentage of the diverse fruit-tree resources in our tropical rain forests. There still remain many more indigenous fruit species which can be brought into cultivation in a similar manner as the familiar fruit species. This paper highlights some of these fruit species
