Exotic Dragon Fruit Cultivation Under Precision Technology.
We have encountered a series of crop cultivation under precision technological advancements, beneficiating the productivity, quality and immeasurably more, in the diverse aspects of the crops. This write up is about to cover and contextualized, how channeling technological approach directly towards, the cultivation that is in entirely an extraordinary business venture that procured commercialization barely a few years ago and capitalizing it’s way through to be one of the most relished tropical fruits in Sri Lanka, is none other than, “dragon fruits and its cultivation” . Apparently, the most beautiful member of the cactus family, “Cactaceae” aka Dragon fruit, originating in the Central America, South America and Mexico has attained its market demand from all over the world, with the inception of it’s cultivation, that has blossomed in Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc, in an array of variety spanning in the colors of pink, red, yellow, purple adopting a dragon scales like outlying surface betrayed by its succulent flesh in the interior in red, white, coupled with pitch black seeds with an hotch potch flavor of sweetness and sourness.
Let’s scrutinizing, the astonishing factors that made the cultivation so successful in propagation and commercialization: In regards to the climate, water, soil, fertilizers, requirements, and the threats of pest and diseases, dragon fruits bestows the simplicity in it’s cultivation, the ability of the crop to establish it’s produces in the topical and sub-topical terrains, the least requirement of water necessities, the soil requirement that extends to a wider range and the immenser responses in it’s market demand in the local and the export value, are considered to be the ultimate reasons of incentivizing the cultivators to progressive capitalization hence, conducive to the momentum achieved in the cultivation in the recent years.
Nevertheless, no effort no result theory is yet applied despite over all the simplicity gifted in the cultivation. From intolerances to the circumstances to frosty conditions, stagnated water in the soil rendering the root rotting, over watering due to improper irrigation practices with the consequences of adverse outcome of fungal diseases and uncontrolled weed growth. Over utilization of spurious chemical components in order to control the pest and disease, on the contrary, eliminating the nutrimental constituent, while creating detrimental effect on the wholesomeness of the cultivar.
Thus, the purpose of the write-up has finally arrived, in reference to the previous context, the realization of the drawbacks of the cultivation are acknowledged, now, exploring the combating qualities of precision technology will be commenced!!!
