AGRONOMY ASPECTS Scientific name: Averrhoa carambola L Family: Oxalidaceae Common Names: a.k.a Carambola, Belimbing (Malaysia), Carambolier (French), Ma Fueng (Thailand), Fuang (Laos), Khe (Vietnam) Introduction The starfruit gets its name from the shape of a cross-section of the fruit This unique feature earns itself a status in the exotic fruit league, and slices of this smooth, juicy, crispy and sour-sweet delight are often used in the adornment of cuisine and salads Also known as “carambola”, which, in Portuguese meaning “food appetizer”, it is often consumed fresh, and also processed into jam, jelly, sweets, fresh juice and cordial concentrates Carambola fruits possess good nutrition value, as they contain very low fat, are high in vitamin B and C content, and also a source of potassium and fiber Nutrient Composition Carambola nutrient composition is a follows: Component Food energy Moisture Protein Fat Carbohydrate Fiber Ash Calcium Iron Beta-carotene Vitamin B1 Vitamin B2

Market Access On Star fruit (carambola) Page October 2004 Origin Origin unknown, but probably native to Malaysia, Indonesia and Southern China The star fruit has never been located in the wild It was domesticated throughout India and southeast Asia in prehistoric times, and was established in the American tropics 150 years ago Adaptation The carambola is classified as subtropical because mature trees can tolerate temperatures as low as 27° F for short periods of time with little damage Like many other subtropicals, however, young plants are more susceptible to frost and can be killed at 32° F Carambolas can be severely damaged by flooding or prevailing hot, dry winds The small trees make good container plants Use and Potential Carambola is mainly consumed fresh but there is seeing increasing use as a juice It may also be processed into preserves, jams and jellies On a rare note, starfruit is used in black tea infusion, and to produce starfruit wine and brandy Starfruit have also been associated with certain beliefs that it may lead to the lowering of blood pressure, and prescribed in concoctions to relief headache, vomiting, coughing and restlessness Trees in bloom can support hobbyist apiculture by supplying pollen and nectar, leading to high-quality honey Marketing The four major export market for Malaysia’s star fruit are Netherlands, France, Germany and Singapore Nevertheless, it continues to play an important role in Malaysian agriculture, by contributing towards an export volume of more than 9000 tons worth RM31.5 million by 2001 Year 1995 1996

juicy but the texture when ripe is considered fibrous Orange with white freckles BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION Tree Carambola tree can reach a height of 5-12 m It has a lot of branches thus producing a lot of water shoots The young plant has a shape of a pyramid whereas the older plant has a round shape Leaves The leaf is small and oval in shape The upper surface of the leaf is smooth and is yellowish green in colour The lower surface is dark green in colour The leaf is 2-4 cm wide and 2-9 cm long Technical Document For Market Access On Star fruit (carambola) Page October 2004 Flowers The flower is small and is purplish in colour It has sepals, petals and stamens The ovary is located under the style The flowers are formed all along the trunk, branches and twigs Fruit The fruits are oval and there are 5.6 angles/ribs When it is cross-cut, it will give a star shape The fruit is green when small and turns yellow or orange when ripe The flesh is smooth, juicy, crispy, sweet but sourish in taste CROP REQUIREMENTS Climate The Carambola plant suits well to the tropical climate It needs plenty of rainfall and a dry weather Soils Carambola will grow very well in friable and well-drained soil Carambola can live well in other various types of soil right from sandy soil to clayey soil but it needs a good soil improvement and management especially irrigation system and application of fertiliser CULTURAL PRACTICES Planting Materials There are types of vegetative propagation carried out on carambola for the reproduction of planting materials They are patch budding/bud grafting and cleft methods Both methods are suitable but the more popular method is bud grafting The plant can be planted into the field months after grafting Spacing The most common planting system is square planting at 6m x 6m, resulting in a planting density of 278 plants per hectare Establishment Planting holes of 0.6m x 0.6m x 0.6m are dug after liming is done Organic matter or compost at 5-10 kg, CIRP 200 gm are incorporated into the holes and the seedling is then planted with minimal disturbance of the roots Shade Requirement During the establishment stage, the plant requires shading of 40- 50% Technical Document For Market Access On Star fruit (carambola) Page October 2004 Pruning Proper pruning of the carambola plant is important as to get a good shape for easy maintenance and subsequently give good yields Removing unhealthy branches and water shoots improves ventilation, reduces occurrences of diseases and facilitates fruit bagging The height of the tree is maintained at about 2-4 meters to enable foliar spraying Pruning also induces flowering Pruning usually stops when the tree starts to bear fruits Pruning is supposed to form the shape of the carambola plants as follows: i Open centre ii Modified central leader iii Trellis branching system Fertilizer Usage Fertilizer management is very important to ensure a high and sustained level of fruit production In soils of low fertility young trees should receive light applications every 60 to 90 days until well established Thereafter, they should receive one or two applications a year in deep soils or three or more applications in shallow soils where nutrients are lost by leaching Where symptoms of chlorosis appear, remedial action may be taken by use of soil and foliar application of chelated iron and other micronutrients The recommended fertilization program for the carambola is as follows: Plant Age (Years) Fertilizer Type Rate (kg/plant/ year Establishment CIRP Organic Matter 0.2 5-10 Vegetative Phase Reproductive 15:15:15 or 15:15:6:4 Organic Matter 12:12:17:2+TE or 13:13:20:2+TE Organic Matter Application Time Incorporated into planting hole 0.70 Applied 6-7 times/year 15 Applied 3-4 times/year 1.2 Applied 6-7 times/year 30 (3-4 times/year) " 1.75 45 (3-4 times/year) " 2.7 45 (3-4 times/year) above " 4.0 45 (3-4 times/year) Technical Document For Market Access On Star fruit (carambola) Page October 2004 Water Management The carambola requires sufficient soil moisture to ensure growth and fruit production For optimum fruit production, water must be available to the crop during the fruiting season Water is supplied by various methods in the farm Supplementary irrigation is done to provide soil moisture especially during the dry season during fruiting Two common types of irrigation used in the farms are the sprinkler system and micro-irrigation In tin-tailing farms, irrigation is necessary to avoid production of small fruits, and the use of micro-irrigation is the most popular method Pollination Pollination is essential for the production of a good crop The common pollinators include honeybees, ants, thrips and stingless bees To improve pollen supply, a branch of the B2 cultivar is grafted on the upper middle branch of a B10 tree PEST MANAGEMENT Fuits are attacked by several insects including two species of fruit flies, Bactrocera carambolae and B papayae, and two species of lepidopteran borers Homona sp and Cryptophlebia sp The flowers are commonly infested by the flower moth Diacrotricha fasciola Zeller (Pterophoridae) Mites (Tetranychus sp.) are occassionally a problem in prolonged hot dry weather Carambola is relatively free of any serious diseases Occassionally however, during prolonged wet weather in conjunction with dense canopy conditions, the young stems and shoots succumb to thread blight while Cercospora leaf spot causes defiliation as well as spotting on young fruits Fruitfly Management To minimize the economic impact of fruitflies, several measures are taken by the growers to control this important pest Control programs are based on the use of methyl eugenol, insecticide sprays, poisoned protein hydrolysate bait, and the bagging of fruit Bagging of fruits is usually done when the fruit reaches a length of 4-5cm, at a stage, which is well before any onset of fruitfly, attack can take place In the packing-house, holes in the packing boxes are covered with a mesh to prevent fruitfly infestation Fruits are also inspected twice for symptoms of fruitfly infestation, once during harvest in the farm, and again during the packing and grading processes Technical Document For Market Access On Star fruit (carambola) Page October 2004 7.0 Species name Common name Phyllum Class Order Family Synonym Distribution

1993) Peninsular Malaysia: present, no further details (Drew & Hancock, 1994) Sabah: present, no further details (Drew & Hancock, 1994) 1) Life Cycle The biology of B dorsalis is probably typical of the group Eggs of B dorsalis are laid below the skin of the host fruit These hatch within a day (although delayed up to 20 days in cool conditions) and the larvae feed for another 6-35 days, depending on season Pupariation is in the soil under the host plant for 10-12 days but may be delayed for up to 90 days under cool conditions Adults occur throughout the year and begin mating after about 8-12 days, and may live 1-3 months depending on temperature (up to 12 months in cool conditions) (Christenson and Foote, 1960) Adult flight and the transport of infected fruit are the major means of movement and dispersal to previously uninfested areas Many Bactrocera spp can fly 50-100 km (Fletcher, 1989) 2) Affected Plant Stages Fruiting stage Biology & Ecology 3) Affected Plant Parts Fruits/pods 4) Symptom Following oviposition there may be some necrosis around the puncture mark ('sting') This is followed by decomposition of the fruit Descriptors: Fruits/pods: internal feeding; lesions: black or brown; premature drop 5) Damage B dorsalis is a very serious pest of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables throughout its range and damage levels can be anything up to 100% of unprotected fruit B carambolae and B papayae are also very serious pests in Malaysia and the recent outbreak of B papayae in northern Queensland caused a great deal of concern; both of these species attack some of their hosts at the pre-ripe stage (D L Hancock, Queensland Department of Primary Industries, Australia, personal communication, 1996) and B carambolae attacks such small carambola fruits that bagging (a normally effective control) is quite impractical In the Philippines mango is very heavily attacked Technical Document For Market Access On Star fruit (carambola) Page 57 October
