Abstract

Dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) is a exotic and newly introduced super fruit crop of India. The flowering behavior of this plant is crucial for breeding and hybridization. As a fact, there are no such scientific studies has been conducted, the current research is focused on the flowering behavior and yield of red and white fleshed dragon fruit types. From the year 2019 to 2021, the experiment was carried out in the field of a progressive farmer. Treatments consisted of T1 - Control, T2 - 100% N through FYM, T3 - 100% N through FYM + PSB @ 10kg/ha, T4 - 100% N through FYM + VAM @ 10kg/ha, T5 - 100% N through FYM + PSB @ 10kg/ha + VAM @ 10 kg/ha, T6 - 100% N through poultry manure, T7 - 100% N through poultry manure + PSB @ 10 kg/ha, T8 - 100% N through poultry manure + VAM @ 10kg/ha, T9 - 100% N through poultry manure + PSB @ 10kg/ha + VAM @ 10kg/ha, T10 - 100% N through  vermicompost, T11 - 100% N through  vermicompost  + PSB @ 10kg/ha, T12 - 100% N through  vermicompost +  VAM @ 10 kg/ha, T13 - 100% N through  vermicompost +  PSB @ 10kg/ha + VAM @ 10kg/ha. The data was pooled for two successive years on red fleshed and white fleshed type dragon fruit and the results revealed that treatment T13 comprising of 100 per cent N through vermicompost + PSB at 10 kg ha-1+ VAM at 10 kg ha-1 had significantly greater impact on flowering and yield parameters.
