Pineapple Cultivation in Hawaii

This document combines two previous publications of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. The first section, “Overview of commercial production practices,” is adapted from Pineapple the plant and its culture, by Kenneth G. Rohrbach, published under the imprint of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station, Hawaii Institute of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, University of Hawaii at Manoa (5 pp., no date [ca.1990]). The brochure provided a snapshot of the pineapple crop cycle as then practiced by the major commercial plantation growers in Hawaii. The second section, “Growing pineapple,” was first published in 1988 under the title Pineapple as CTAHR Commodity Fact Sheet PIN-3(A). It was intended as a “how-to” guide providing information for someone wishing to cultivate a crop of pineapple.This document provides an overview of all aspects of growing pineapple in Hawaii
