Complete Details of Technology:	:
A technology of preparation of rooted saplings of dragon fruit has been developed and validated at ICAR-NIASM. For this purpose, healthy cuttings are selected from elite mother block of dragon fruit available at ICAR-NIASM, Baramati. Usually cutting from the more than one year old plant is preferable for nursery plantation. Cutting should have 30 cm length free from disease and pest infestation. Cuttings with slanted cut (2-3 cm) at the base are kept for two days in shed for drying the oozing latex. To plant the cuttings, nursery polythene bags (10��6�) are filled with 4 kg of solarised native (murrum) soil with well rotten FYM (1 kg). Before planting, cuttings are treated with 6000 ppm Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) since native soil and IBA gave best results. These cuttings are raised in shade net conditions having 50% photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Watering has been done as per the requirement i.e., 1 L/sapling twice in a week.
Brief Description of Technology Including Salient Features:
Dragon fruit is emerging as coming-of-age fruit crop across the India and possess many economical, medicinal, nutritional and aesthetic values. It is commercially propagated by vegetative means-cuttings. For this purpose, development of the propagation techniques to accelerate establishment of dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus) is essential. This will help to produce healthy and stout saplings in affordable prices. Hence, two years (2020 and 2021) field experiments were conducted in series to study the interactive effect of growing condition (open field, shade net and glass house), soil media [native murrum (N), black (B) and mixed (1B: 1N)] and growth hormone (IBA 5000, 6000, 7000 ppm) and developing better propagation technique of dragon fruit. Dragon fruit sapling planted in native soil, treated with IBA @ 6000 ppm and growing under shade net conditions gave maximum success percentage & better establishment. Since cutting propagated by employing above developed method shown better shoot and root growth. Such sapling is ready to transplant in orchard field within 45-60 days of planting. Further, newly developed sapling preparation technology has been validated in field conditions i.e. IBA treated sapling plantation in native soil plot, where the nursery can be grown under natural conditions in tree shades (45-60 days).
Benefits/Utility	:
The technology provides an opportunity for raising healthy and stout cuttings within short period (45-60 days) even in natural tree shade condition in native soil. The production cost of rooted sapling is Rs15-20/sapling or Rs 30-40/sapling with soil bag. Thus, the technology is economically feasible for marginal farmers. The standardised propagation technique for sapling development will be benefited for farmers of the abiotically stressed regions.
Precaution With The Technology	:	Watering, nutrient management and plant protection measures should be timely followed.
Time Of Application Use	:	Before and After harvest season of dragon fruit
How To Use	:
� Selection of cuttings: Cutting (30 cm length) should be taken from one year old elite mother plants before (May-June) or after the fruiting season (January-February). Make a 2-3 cm slant cut at base of the cuttings. Collected slanted cut cuttings need to be kept for two days in shed for drying the oozing latex. Then treat with fungicide to prevent soil borne diseases (Carbandazim @ 2000 ppm). � Soil preparation and bag fillings: Native (murrum) soil is needed to sterilize through soil solarisation method before bags filling. Remove all weed trash and large size stones present in soil. Each nursery polythene bag (10�� 6�) is filled with well mix 4 kg soil with 1 kg FYM for the planting cuttings. Add the SSP @ 5 g/bag and Folidol powder @ 1 g/bag at the time of bags filling for well nutrition and avoid attack of termites. � Treatment for rooting of cutting: Before planting, base of cuttings are dip in 6000 ppm conc. of IBA solution at 10 to 15 sec. (quick dip method) and dried at 10 min. IBA is to promote the root growth within 20-30 days. � Planting: Plant the saplings in polythene bags 3-5 cm deep in the soil and place immediately in 50% partial shade net growing condition. � Irrigation and weed management: Irrigation should be done immediately after planting. Further, 1 L water application recommended twice in week. Hand weeding is done at 10-15 days intervals to control the weed growth and efficient use of nutrients. � Nutrient management (Optional): Nutrients are applied morning or evening time. The plants drenching with humic acid @ 200 ppm/sapling 15 days intervals after planting. Drenching done with 19:19:19 (NPK) @ 200-250 ppm/plant 10 days intervals after planting up to transplanting. Micronutrients will apply when they are necessary or when deficiency observed. � Pest and disease control: Clean nursery practices to be followed in saplings to avoid diseases like stem rot/soft rot, root rot and pests like termites and ants. Remove diseased saplings from the nursery. Follow recommended spray schedule for nursery integrated disease and pest management. � Transplanting: Saplings are ready for transplanting within 45-60 days after planting.
