Abstract: An experiment was to conducted to know the influence of growth regulators IBA, NAA and their combination on rooting of stem cuttings in Dragon fruit [Hylocereus undatus (Haworth) Britton & Rose] under low cost polyhouse at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, BBAU a central university luck now, during the year October 2020 to April 2021. The experiment was laid out by following Complete Randomized Design with twelve treatments replicated thrice. The stem cuttings of Dragon fruit treated with different plant growth regulators result reveals that, the length of the longest root (10cm), fresh weight and dry weight of root (18g and 0.18 g, respectively), total number of roots per cuttings (8.00), root diameter (2.00 mm) were found in T9 IBA @3000ppm+ NAA@100ppm) at 60 day after treatment followed by T11 (8.66cm,16g,0.16g, 7 number, 1.86 mm) treated with IBA @ 2000ppm +NAA@200 ppm). while and the lowest of all these were found in control (without PGR) T1 (6cm, 13g,0.12gm ,6 number, 1.00 mm) was recorded.
Keywords: Dragon fruit, rooting, stem cutting, IBA, NAA, PGR
