Experiment code 20.5.3.5
Experiment Title To study the effect of foliar spray of anti transpirant on dragon fruit
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Currently, dragon fruit cultivation area is increasing at a high pace in the Gujarat State. However, the increasing temperature during the summer season results in the 80% loss of dragon fruit due to sun burning across the state. These sun burning of cladodes leads to reduction in flowering buds initiations which ultimately affect the total yield. To reduce these loss the current study is been proposed to check the effect of different anti transpirant against the high temperature during summer season.
