Biology of Carica papaya
History and Distribution
The papaya was first described by the Spanish chronicler Oviedo in 1526 from the Caribbean coast of Panama and Colombia. It was soon grown throughout the tropics, ist distribution undoubtedly being aided by an abundance of seed of relatively long viability (up to 3 years under cool, dry conditions). It has become naturalized in many tropical regions, particularly in areas with fertile soils and abundant rainfall.
