Dear Sir,
Happy to see successful cultivation of dragon fruit. I am from Hiriyur, Karnataka and in the process of gathering information on the cultivation of dragon fruit so as to start the same in near future.
I request you to share the below general details, if it is OK:
- Challenges faced by you during the establishment of this plantation, during vegetative phase, during fruit establishment especially pollination & during marketing.
- Weather in your area: Minimum & maximum temperature, rainfall, soil type, water quality.
- Fertilizers’/manure dose during establishment.
- Common pests & disease problems in this plantation.
- Cost of initial establishment of orchard/acre & alternatives to reduce cost of establishment.
- Variety which is in good demand in Indian market (Yellow or white) & what is the minimum farmgate price/Kg.
- Time taken for first harvest; Yield expectation per acre during first, second & third harvest.
Thanks & Regards
