Results summary:

The data and actual results show that the growth rate of branch wideness and thickness of dragon fruit is significantly faster and healthier than that of the control group after using MIT PO-G + MIT pHR + MIT PN-60L. 

Detail data collection

Each group collect 2 times data, compare thickness and wideness of test branch

The variance and standard deviation of branch wideness, thickness variance and standard deviation of the 2 experimental groups are as follows.

Branch of Dragonfruit Test Group Benchmark
Wideness difference variance 0.39452 0.04552
Standard deviation 0.62811 0.21335
Thickness difference variance 0.04874 0.03882
Standard deviation 0.22077 0.19703
The average value of the difference in branch wideness in the experimental group x1 (1.32) > the average value of the difference in branch wideness in the control group m1 (0.75).
The average value of the difference in branch thickness in the experimental group y1 (0.52) > the average value of the difference in branch thickness in the control group n1 (0.38).

The variance and standard deviation of branch wideness in the experimental group were larger than those in the control group; 

The variance and standard deviation of branch thickness in the experimental group were larger than those in the control group.

Actual effect from the overall growth and root system of the experimental group and the control group.

a) Overall growth of dragonfruit plants on 20 March 2021

Compared with the control group, the experimental group has vigorous branches, new branches with sufficient power, strong upward growth, dark green, thick and wide branches, and high gloss.

b) Appearance of roots

Test Group (right)

Control (left)

08 March

17 March

The root of dragon fruit is not only not aging, but also a large number of secondary roots and capillary roots grow, and no disease occurs, thereby greatly improving the absorption and utilization rate of fertilizer, and then promoting the vigorous growth of the branches of the above-ground part of the dragon fruit, and the new branches have sufficient power and grow upward. It has strong strength, thick green, thick and wide branches, and high gloss, which lays a good foundation for subsequent flowering and fruit setting and stable and high yield.
