Abstract

Present study conducted at research farm of FASAI, Rama University, Kanpur during rabi 2022-2023 to determine the N.P.K and organic manure effect of growth and yield of dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) under Kanpur cropping condition.Experiment trial have been conducted in RBD with 3 replication using 11 different treatment viz., 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 46.78 cm, Total branches per plant 4.23 and main stem diameter (22.54 cm), plant canopy (N to S: 16.44 cm 3 ), plant canopy (E to W:19.38 cm 3 ), total sprouting 6.35, New shoots height (58.11), 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.
