Question: ) Which variety of papaya is gynodioecious?
Options:
Pusa dwarf
Pusa delicious
Pusa nanha

• Explanation:
Pusa delicious is a gynodioecious variety of papaya. This means that it produces both female (pistillate) and hermaphrodite (having both male and female organs) plants. Hermaphrodite papaya plants can self-pollinate, but female plants require pollen from a hermaphrodite plant to produce fruit. Planting gynodioecious varieties like Pusa delicious ensures you have a good mix of female and hermaphrodite plants for successful fruit production.
