Is Your Dragon Fruit Farm Turning Yellow in Extreme Heat?

Many dragon fruit farmers face yellowing plants, poor growth, and sunburn during summer when temperatures reach 35°C–40°C. However, with proper management practices, plants can remain healthy and productive even in peak heat.

1. Control Soil Temperature

• High soil temperatures reduce root activity and nutrient uptake.
• Keep the root zone cool by maintaining adequate soil moisture.
• Cooler soil promotes better vegetative growth and prevents yellowing.

2. Use Flood Irrigation During Summer

• Contrary to the common belief that dragon fruit requires very little water, summer conditions demand additional moisture.
• After Holi, periodic flood irrigation in beds helps:
  • Reduce soil temperature
  • Improve root health
  • Prevent heat stress
  • Maintain plant vigor

3. Apply China Clay Spray

• Strong sunlight can cause sunburn on dragon fruit stems.
• China Clay spray forms a protective layer that reflects excess sunlight.
• Benefits include:
  • Reduced sunburn damage
  • Lower plant surface temperature
  • Improved plant health

4. Practice Proper Canopy Management

• Avoid overcrowding and overlapping branches.
• Proper branch arrangement improves:
  • Air circulation
  • Sunlight distribution
  • Harvesting efficiency
  • Pruning operations
• Using Agrosia Trellis Wire helps maintain a well-organized canopy structure.

5. Prevent Fungal Infections

• Heat-stressed plants are more susceptible to diseases.
• Regular application of Trichoderma helps maintain root health.
• Ensure proper drainage and timely pruning to reduce disease incidence.
