Abstract:
The current investigatory work entitled "Study about Physico-morphological characters of dragon fruits "was executed at Pomology Laboratory, Department of Pomology, Pt K.L.S. CHRS, Pendri, Rajnandgaon, IGKV, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during year 2019-2020. To assess the physico morphological characteristics of Dragon fruit, Ten evenly matured Dragon fruit were grasped casually from one and all replication. Data revealed that the mean weight of fruit is 434.10 g, mean weight of pulp is 310.21 g, mean weight of peel is 104.79 g, pulp to peel ratio is 2.95,edible index is 71.97,inedible index is 27.93 and the length and diameter of fruit is 11.3 cm and 6.6 cm respectively. And the color and shape of fruit is red and oval respectively. Similar result related to physico-morphological traits of dragon fruit was recorded by Sharma (2016) for this fruit.
