These factors may increase the likelihood of fungal contamination. In that case, the fruits will begin to rot rapidly, lowering their market value. Due to the perishable nature of papayas, each one must be individually wrapped in paper and then put in wooden crates. Straw, sawdust, or other soft material must be used to line the crates to cover the papayas during transportation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrecautions while growing papaya\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe pH of the soil used for red lady papaya cultivation should be between 5.5 and 7.5.
