Effect of foliar application of nano urea on growth and yield parameters of dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus Britton & Rose)

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effect of foliar application of nano urea on growth, yield and quality of dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus Britton & Rose.)” was carried out at Instructional farm, Polytechnic in Horticulture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during the year 2024-25. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with ten treatments which were replicated three time. The results revealed that growth and yield parameter were significantly influenced by the different treatments of nano urea was found significant and highest incremental plant height (65.33 cm) were recorded in 100% RDN + 0.6% Nano urea (T4). number of flowers per pillar (25.28), number of fruits per pillar (23.07), yield per plant (1.93 kg), yield per pillar (7.73 kg) and yield per hectare (8.73 tonnes) were recorded in 100% RDN + 0.4% Nano urea (T3).
