Evaluates root development in dragon fruit with varying IBA concentrations and growing media, suggesting optimal conditions for better growth.

The research aims to assess the effect of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations and different growing media on root development in dragon fruit.
Conducted at Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry,
Utilized a completely randomized design for the experiment.
Evaluated seven treatment combinations of soil and IBA concentrations.
T7 treatment showed the highest effectiveness for root and shoot growth.
Significant improvements observed in plant height, number of shoots, and root parameters.
T7 exhibited enhanced survival rates and weight measurements compared to other treatments.

Amanpreet et al. (2026) studied this question.
