The cultivation of mixed crops of Theemhwe banana and calabash is achieving success in Minbu (Sagu) township.

The cultivation of mixed crops of Theehmwe banana and calabash has met with success in Kyaukton village, Minbu (Saku) township, Magway region and the farmers are earning family income.
The nursery banana plants are cultivated five feet apart in between.
Then, the calabash seeds are dropped in the banana plants so that there is no space between banana trees.
The yellow leaves and the leaves that are thought to be infected should be cleaned by putting them in the trash or burning them to prevent the plant buds.
Similarly, the yellow banana leaves should be gutted regularly. In summer, the plants need to put in irrigation water once a week. Banana plants are not resistant to heat and drought, and when the plants submerge, their leaves turn yellow and die. The banana plants are grown well in winter because they enjoy low humidity and cooler weather.
Theehmwe banana is sold for K1,000 or K1,200 per bunch depending upon the size. The calabashes are sold for K200 or K300 per one.
