Abstract

Present study conducted at research farm of FASAI, Rama University, Kanpur during rabi 2023-2024 to reaction of N:P:K and organic manure in Dragon fruit (Hylocereus undadus L.) Experiment trial have been conducted in RBD with 3 replicationusing 11 different treatmentviz., viz.T0 = Control, T1 = NPK (100%RDF), T2 = NPK (50%RDF)+45% FYM, T3= NPK (50% RDF)+45% poultry manure ,T4= NPK(50% RDF)+45% vermicompost, T5= NPK(25% RDF)+65%FYM, T6=NPK(25% RDF)+65% poultry manure,T7 = FYM(25%RDF)+65% vermicompost,T8= 100% F.Y.M,T9 = 100% vermicompost and T10 = 100% poultry manure. Experimental finding shows extreme plant height 46.80 cm, Total branches per plant 4.30 and main stem diameter (22.60 cm),plant canopy (N to S: 16.50cm3), plant canopy (E to W:19.38cm3), total sprouting 6.35, New shoots height (58.20), and survival percentage (100%) of plant were recorded for T4 (NPK: 50% RDF+50% vermicompost) followed by T3 (NPK (50% RDF) +50% poultry manure). Experimental control exhibited least performance in comparison to all treatment.
