Dragon fruit is a nutrient-demanding crop that requires regular applications of fertilizer to achieve optimal growth and yields. Organic matter plays a very important role in dragon fruit development and growth. Each plant should be applied with 10-15 kg of organic compost. Thereafter, increase the amount by 2kg per year.
This crop requires inorganic fertilizers for rapid growth in vegetative parts. In vegetative stage, this fertilizer ratio is as follows,muriate of potash :super phosphate :urea =40:90:70 grams/plants.
Low amounts of nitrogen and large amounts of potash should be sprayed during the fruit-bearing period to increase yield.
