1.Weather and Land Selection:
Dragon fruit likes lots of light. This fruit requires dry tropical weather. Good for fruit at moderate rainfall. Flowers fall on suitable rain and fruit rotation occurs. Dragon fruits can be cultivated in almost all types of soil. However, it is better to cultivate this fruit in high grounds that do not accumulate. High organic matter-rich sandy-loam soil is good for cultivating this fruit.
2.Useful varieties:
In order to successfully cultivate commercially, Bou Dragon F-1 (White) Bau Dragon F-2 (Red) released from the Bou Germplasm Center can be cultivated. Apart from this, yellow dragon fruit and red dandruff may also be cultivated in black.
3.Seedling:
Making dragon fruit seedlings is very easy. Seeds can be made with seed. However, it takes a lot of time to get the fruits of these trees. So it is better to make saplings by cutting and branching the branches. Between 20 and 30 days, the roots and roots of the old and strong branches are cut from one to one-and-a-half feet long and then cut into sand or sandy soil. But shade or shade should be arranged for cutting. There should be juice on the ground. Cutting usually does not die. Cutting trees yield early fruit. In the crop production from one to one-and-a-half years, the fruit started cutting.
4.Creating and Planting of Land:
Plants can be sown by rowing all the way, after cultivating the land well, after 3 meters. Months of planting before planting, the hole should be filled with ceramics. In every hole 40 kg of dung, 50 g urea, 100 grams of TSP and MOP fertilizer, 10 gms of gypsum, zinc sulphate and borax fertilizer can be given. Can be planted any time of year. But it is better to start from April to September. Four to five seedlings should be applied in every hole. The trees should be planted with cement or bamboo poles.
5.Care:
After planting, the dragon fruit tree must be tied down with poles or pillars. Because of the nature of the dragon's tree. There are three methods to support the tree with poles.
A. Vietnam system,
B. Florida Method,
C. Sri Lanka method
A.Vietnam Method:
In this case the cutting-cut pens around the pillar have to be tied to the pillar.
B.Florida Method:
In this process, two poles on each side are made of thick jars on a thick wire and the trees are to be deposited in Jangla.
C.Sri Lanka system:
In this method, the pillar must be tied to the pillar with the seedlings. On the four sides of the pillar bamboo tigers, the tree tiles on the motor vehicle are allowed to grow on it.
6.Plant size and branch-cutting:
The dragon fruit tree grows very quickly and creates a total branch. A year's tree can produce up to 30 branches. However, branch-based production depends on plant size management. A study found that, after 12-18 months, a tree would bear fruit in the context of Bangladesh. After collecting the fruits, one or two secondary branches are approved in each of the 40-50 main branches. The size of the tree and branch-cutting work is better in the middle of the day. After cutting, any fungal-killer must be applied. Otherwise, different types of diseases can attack.
7.Irrigation Management:
The dragon fruit tree can not bear excess water and it takes less water to cultivate this fruit. In the dry season, there should be arrangements for drainage and irrigation during the dry season. In this case, the tunnels can be made in the range of 50-100 cm in between the two rows. By doing so, the juice can be supplied to the soil of the tree by depositing water for one or two days in the 8.drain.production:
There are 5 to 20 fruits found in a tree from 12 to 18 months old. But 25 to 100 fruits are found in an adult tree. Hectare - 20 to 25 tons per crop.
