Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of GA3 plus Yogen foliar fertilization application on fruit yield and quality of TL4 red dragon fruit from March to Agust 2015 at Lap Thach district, northern Vietnam. The experiment was conducted on complete block design with three replications. Fruit yield and different fruit quality parameters, as well as grade of fruit were determined. The results indicated that application of GA3 30 ppm plus Yogen 4 foliar fertilization significantly increased fruit set, fruit weight, fruit yield as well as fruit quality and reduced percentage grade S for red dragon fruit. Therefore, it could be concluded that application of GA3 30 ppm plus Yogen 4 foliar fertilization markedly fruit set, fruit quality for TL4 red dragon fruit.

Keywords: Red dragon fruit, GA3, yogen foliar fertilization, fruit yield and quality
