Dragon fruits pollination



I have gone to Johore to see dragon fruits palnting. It is one of the biggest area in Malaysia which had many dragon fruits plantings; which almost 500 acres One of the interesting thing I observed was assisted pollination of dragon fruits. They taught me how to take pollens, pollen keeping, hand pollination etc. Actually the assisted pollination is done at night when the flowers bloom. Hand pollination is done between 8 to 10 p.m. Assisted pollination produced bigger fruits almost to 800 g.
