Abstract

Dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) is a recently introduced super fruit in India, gaining popularity both in the rural and urban areas because of its attractive colour, delicious taste, high nutritive and medicinal values. It is adaptable to humid as well as semi-arid tropical and subtropical conditions. The growing acceptability of the fruit along with its immense antioxidants and medicinal properties has led to high demand of its cultivation followed quality planting materials in desired quantity. Dragon fruit can be propagated by various ways both sexually via seeds as well as asexually via stem cuttings, grafting and also via micropropagation. In this review various methods of propagation of dragon fruit are described along with some propagation aspects related to dragon fruit on which very limited information is available. Potential areas on dragon fruit propagation that require further research to generate more data in order to improve the techniques are also discussed.
