 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was conducted to find out the response of combined “Effect of organic, inorganic and bio-fertilizers on physico-chemical attributes of dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus L.)”. The results clearly revealed that physico-chemical parameters were significantly influenced by the integrated of organic, inorganic and bio-fertilizers. The maximum length of fruits (25.03 cm), width of fruits (21.56 cm), weight of fruits (572.33 g), edible portion (91.33%), The colour of pulp in dragon fruits varied from red colour and the colour of skin in dragon fruits varied from pink colour, and TSS (14.00 0Brix) were observed under the various treatments consisting of T1Water spray, T2 FYM, T3 NPK (100%), T4 Azotobacter, T5 PSB, T6 FYM +NPK (50%), T7 FYM + NPK (75%), T8  FYM + NPK + (50%)+ Azotobacter, T9 FYM + NPK (75%) +Azotobacter, T10   FYM + NPK (50%) + PSB  , T11 FYM + NPK (75%) + PSB , T12 FYM + NPK + (50%) + Azotobacter + PSB , T13  FYM + NPK + (75%) +Azotobacter +PSB respectively. Hence, treatments combination (T13) can be considered as best treatment for enhancing physico-chemical attributes in dragon fruit under Lucknow condition.      

Keywords: Dragon fruit, FYM, NPK, Bio-fertilizers and Physico-chemical characters.
