PROJEC T PROPOSAL

I. Introduction

Barangay San Andres has a wide range of rice fields. Agriculture is their basic
source of living. Families and children are inclined to planting. Backyards have variety of
fruit trees and seasoned veggies. Children love cultivating; harnessing the soil for this is
the kind of culture these children have been exposed.
In San Andres Elementary School of Victoria West District, the project proponent
took this opportunity to lead the pupils in enhancing more in what they do best, their
agricultural skills that led the proponent in this project proposal.
The experience and love for planting of these pupils led to the thought of
channeling this passion to an income generating project and nurture them to become the
next generation growers and agri-business entrepreneurs in the future which is the main
purpose of this project. The teacher can inculcate in the youth the good values of hard
work and self-reliance hand in hand invest their time and resources to worthwhile
activities hence develop K-12 lifelong learners.
The project proponent thought of developing the agri-business skills of the pupils
of San Andres Elementary School. This can help in improving and purchasing
agricultural tools and tiling of classroom floors to make teaching space more conducive
to learning. Pupils from all grade levels will surely benefit from this project because they
have their own assigned gardens to improve.

II. Description of Dragon Fruit Planting and the Project

Dragon Fruit ( Hylocereus undatus known as “pitaya or pitahaya) production is

achieving more and more recognition as an important crop. It is considered a
tropical superfood because of its wealth benefits. It is not only a nutritious fruit but
possesses medicinal properties. It is known to prevent colon cancer and diabetes,
reduce cholesterol and high blood pressure. Controls high sugar level, prevent cancer and
promote dental health. It is rich in vitamin C, phosphorous and calcium which help to
develop strong bones, teeth and skin. It is considered a “health fruit” (ICBF, 1992:
Morton, 1987).

Dragon Fruit production can provide viable source of food and income to growers. It can be an
asset to backyard growers. It is a fast return perennial fruit crop with production in the second year after
planting. This can be easily made available on the tables even to low income households thus answer
the problem on affordability of fruits, malnutrition and low income households.
 Dragon fruit is suitable in dry areas but requires sufficient water supply to sustain
its productivity. It can grow in varied types of soil provided it is well drained. The level
of risk in producing the dragon fruit in lesser and is more tolerant to adverse weather
conditions as compared to the production of other crops. It is a type of crop that requires
one time planting and can last for 50 years. It is a plant which is easy to manage. Keeping
the post moist is enough for the plant to sustain good growth. During dry season it only
needs to be watered every three months. Women and children can handle dragon fruit
planting except only in putting up the post is when they need the help.

III. OBJECTIVES
1. To develop the youth become the next generation growers and agri-business
entrepreneurs in the future.
2. To establish a Dragon Fruit Production Project for income generation.

Amazing Benefits Of Dragon Fruit

Dragon Fruit Varieties

There are three types of dragon fruits, namely, red skin with red flesh, red skin with white flesh,
and yellow skin with white flesh. There are both sweet and sour dragon fruits, depending on the
species, shape, and size. In terms of the most common form of dragon fruit, it is slightly smaller
than a cantaloupe, red in color, and covered in broad spiky growths.

When you open it, the texture is like a kiwi, and the meat is filled with small black seeds that
help improve digestion. The meat of the fruit is used to make wine and can be strained into
other beverages, while the leaves of dragon fruit can be steeped for a very healthy form of tea.
The rough outer skin has little nutritional value and is rarely eaten.
Dragon Fruit Nutrition

Dragon fruit is a healthy fruit, which is low in calories and rich in antioxidants and can be added
to any weight loss diet. It is rich in proteins, fiber, lycopene, and carbohydrates. It
contains carotene, vitamin C, vitamin B, thiamine (vitamin B1), and riboflavin.
The mineral wealth of this fruit includes calcium, phosphorus, iron, and sodium.

Dragon fruit is believed to contain phytonutrients that prevent various diseases. Also, there
are polyunsaturated fatty acids like omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids in the seeds of these fruits.

Health Benefits of Dragon Fruit

The health benefits of the dragon fruit are mainly attributed to its antioxidant, antibacterial, and
nutritional properties. The benefits include boosted immunity, faster metabolism, and
a smoother digestive process. Let us now look at the benefits in detail.

Boosts Immunity

The high level of vitamin C found in dragon fruit helps boost immunity and it stimulates
the activity of other antioxidants in the body as well. They actively seek out and eliminate free
radicals, the dangerous byproducts of cell metabolism, which have been directly linked to
potentially fatal conditions like cancer and heart diseases. Also, these antioxidants work their
way in increasing the platelet count, thus treat dengue and helping you recover fast.

Prevents Anemia

Iron, present in dragon fruits, is great for boosting the hemoglobin levels in anemic individuals.
It also aids in the production of red blood cells (RBCs), which then helps in proper oxygenation
of vital organs.

Detoxifies the Body

Antioxidant-rich dragon fruits help in detoxification by flushing out the

waste metals and toxins from the body. This, in turn, aids in weight loss.

Rich in Vitamins

Dragon fruit is also packed with many vitamins like vitamin C and the B vitamin group. The B1,
B2, and B3 vitamins improve everything from blood pressure, skin health, and cholesterol
levels to thyroid function, fluctuating hemoglobin levels, and carbohydrate metabolism.

Dragon fruit — also called dragon pearl fruit, cactus fruits, pitahaya or pitaya — is a tropical,
delicious superfood that can do a lot for your health. In fact, dragon fruit benefits include anti-
aging, immune system boosting and sugar stabilization, which is helpful for those with diabetes,
among others.

Dragon Fruit Benefits

1. Immune Booster

Dragon fruit is jam-packed with flavonoids and flu-fighting vitamin C, which is great for the
immune system. In fact, it contains more vitamin C than a carrot, making the dragon fruit one of
the top vitamin C foods around.

Dragon fruit also ranks high on the antioxidant. And rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3, as well as
calcium, phosphorous, iron, protein, niacin and fiber teaming up to keep that immune system in
tip-top shape.

The micronutrients in dragon fruit are also impressive. A study published in the Journal of
Food Science observed polyphenol and f lavonoid content and effects on several cancer cell lines
from the extracts of the flesh and peel of the white and red dragon fruit. Both extracts revealed
anticancer activity and a direct correlation between the phenolic content and antioxidant effect,
suggesting that this extract may be a valuable ingredient in foods as well as cosmetics,
nutraceuticals and even pharmaceutical applications. (1) All of this is because of the fruit’s
immune-boosting ability, which is one of the top dragon fruit benefits.

2. Digestion Helper

We know that fiber aids in digestion and the best way to get fiber is through fruits and
vegetables. Dragon fruit contains a good bit of fiber, which can help with that morning bowel
movement. It can even help eliminate constipation and IBS issues.

Dragon fruit contains about one gram of fiber per 100 grams for the fresh version and about 10
grams per 100 grams of the dried version, making it a high-fiber food. To get a bit more fiber,
you can even eat the skin of the pitaya.

Another reason dragon fruit benefits digestion is due to the oligosaccharides it contains. These
oligosaccharides work as prebiotics, which in turn improves gut health and digestion. (2) And
that’s not all prebiotics can do.

According to research published in the journal 3 Biotech, “the introduction of functional

compounds like prebiotics in the diet seems to be an attractive alternative to ameliorate the
quality of life ridden with obesity, cancer, hypersensitivity, vascular diseases and degenerative
ailments.” (3)

3. Diabetes Treatment and Prevention

I noted the fiber content and how that helps with digestion, but fiber can also help stabilize blood
sugar levels and maintain normal blood sugar. The dragon fruit can help by preventing sugar
spikes after eating high glycemic index foods.

A study published in the Journal of Pharmacognosy Research found that dragon fruit had
positive results on the oxidative stress on tested subjects, suggesting its consumption as
beneficial in reducing some issues that may be associated with diabetes. (4) Further research
examining the way dragon fruit benefits insulin resistance on obese mice found that eating
dragon fruit can help reduce the risk for diabetes and diabetes symptoms. (5)

4. Heart-Healthy

The same study noted above on dragon fruit benefits in relation to diabetes and oxidative stress
also evaluated effects that dragon fruit may have on the heart. The numbers are astounding
regarding how many people die each year from cardiovascular diseases like coronary heart
disease. It’s estimated that 175 million die annually from heart problems — about 31 percent of
all deaths worldwide. (6)

The study published in the Journal of Pharmacognosy Research showed that dragon fruit may
help decrease bad cholesterol while improving the good cholesterol, making dragon fruit an
excellent cholesterol-lowering food. In addition, because it’s an excellent source of
monounsaturated fats, it can help keep the heart in good shape.

And let’s not forget those little black seeds inside the dragon fruit. They’re big in delivering
omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Research shows that these omega-3s and omega-6s can drop
problematic triglycerides, decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

5. Keeps You Looking Youthful

While antioxidants are awesome at keeping the inside of the body in good order, those amazing
little antioxidants pack a powerful punch for the skin too. Antioxidants, in this case due to the
vitamin C content, do a great job of keeping the skin tight and firm, which can offer a youthful
appearance.

Additionally, the phosphorus in dragon fruit provides a boost in the anti-aging

department. Phosphorus, an important mineral found in every cell of the body, makes up about 1
percent of your total bodyweight. Because it’s found in every cell, its effect on the repair of those
cells is important to the youthfulness of our skin and prevention of premature aging. (7)

6. Potential Cancer Prevention

Dragon fruit contains phytoalbumin, and phytoalbumin, combined with the vitamin C and
minerals it hosts, makes the dragon fruit highly valued for its antioxidant properties and cancer-
preventing qualities. There is yet another characteristic that may help in cancer prevention — the
lycopene it contains. The lycopene, also found in tomatoes, offers the rich color, and results
from studies show that it may contain “chemopreventive effects for prostate, breast, lung, liver
and skin cancer.” (8, 9)

Another study published in Nutrition and Cancer indicates that cancerous cells had difficulty
living and were significantly reduced when treated with lycopene. Ovarian cancer evaluation
showed a decrease in cancerous cell numbers after lycopene treatment, and given dragon fruit’s
lycopene content, it may be a potential cancer-fighting food. (10)

Planting Dragon Fruit

There are three things to consider in planting Dragon Fruit.

1. Choosing the right set-up

a. Decide on what to use for initial planting, the dragon seed or cuttings from a
grown plant. Growing dragon fruit from seeds isn’t hard. It only takes a longer
time before the plant bears fruit while from cuttings of a stem could take much
less time depending on the size of the cuttings.
b. Determine the place for planting. Dragon fruit can grow outdoors, indoors or in a
container. In planting outside choose an open space where it needs to be under the
sun to bloom.
c. Use well drained, sandy cactus soil. Pitiya is a cactus. They are light feeders that
don’t need nutrient love. Plant the dragon fruit in an area where water doesn’t
tend to pool or plant it on a hill or mound so that water drains away. If cactus soil
is not available, come up with a mixture of sand, potting soil and compost.
2. Planting and caring for Dragon Fruit Plant
a. Cuttings should be dry before planting. It is best to let the fresh cuttings dry up in
a cool, shady spot for a week. This will allow the wound to heal and prevent
infection once it is planted.
b. Plant in full sun. The leaves of the plant should be exposed to full sun for best
results. Make sure it’s still getting adequate sunlight as it grows.
c. Plant flush with the soil line. Plant the cuttings and flush Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.7"

Dragon Fruit
Back

Dragon fruit is an incredible cactus that produces strange looking fruit resembling a magical dragon
egg. Cut through the vibrant pinky red skin to reveal white or pink flesh speckled with tiny black
seeds. The taste is hard to pin down with some saying it’s a sweet mix of mild kiwi fruit, watermelon,
strawberry and pear flavours. Others describe it as only vaguely sweet or even savoury. Confused?
Well growing conditions and ripeness of the fruit can impact taste but nonetheless it’s visually
impressive and packed full of nutrients, like Vitamin C, so you can’t go wrong.

If the fruit isn’t enough to you tempt you then don’t forget the flowers. Their stunning large flowers
are easily over 20cm wide and appear in summer. They are yellowy green on the outside and open
to a scented white, lily like bloom. Flowers open in the evening and only last one night. It’s the
perfect excuse to host an evening cocktail party and enjoy their blooms!

Dragon Fruit Types

The name dragon fruit is used to refer to several types of cacti that produce edible fruits. In Australia
the mostly grown species are:
 Hylocereus undatus (white fleshed fruit)
 Hylocereus costaricensis (red fleshed fruit). Also known as H. polyrhizus.
 Hylocereus megalanthus (yellow skin and white flesh)
There are also named varieties available but the good news is that regardless of what type you get
they all need the same basic growing conditions.

How To Grow Dragon Fruit

Dragon fruits come from Mexico and Central and Southern America. Not surprisingly they like warm
conditions with mild winters and no frost. They can tolerate the occasional short burst of cold
weather but ideally they should be kept above 10 degrees. They can handle heat, drought, humidity
and poor soils but will grow tastier fruit with regular watering and rich soil.
Choose a sunny spot and then boost the soil with compost, manure and certified organic pelletised
fertiliser. A dose of eco-flo lime is also beneficial. Soil needs to be free draining as these plants rot
easily if the roots sit in water. Clay soils are not ideal but if that’s all you have then treat with eco-
flo gypsum and plant on a raised mound. Alternatively they will happily grow in a large pot.
Mulch plants to protect their shallow roots and water in with eco-seaweed. Repeat the eco-seaweed
a week later to encourage new roots to grow quickly.
If left to their own devices dragon fruit become a scrambling scraggy mess so a bit of training is in
order. Plant against a thick stake or some other support and tie one or two main stems to the
support to encourage vertical straight growth. Trim away any other side shoots. Once the stems
have reached the desired height cut off their ends to encourage new branching shoots. These can
then be allowed to spread out and hang downwards. Commercial growers often use a rose wheel
and encourage side way branches to grow over the wheel making it easier for picking fruit.

Fertilising and Maintenance of Dragon Fruit

Every 2-3 weeks apply a mix of eco-seaweed and eco-aminogro as a foliar spray or watered in the
soil around the plant. Each spring reapply eco-flo lime and replenish the compost/manure/organic
fertiliser pellets. Check the staking to ensure plant is properly supported as it grows.
When established the top can become quite congested and large. Periodically remove some of the
longer shoots to keep it under control and allow space for new growth to develop. This is important
because flowers form on the ends of new season growth so each year you need new growth to get
fruit. Less congestion tends to lead to bigger fruit as well.

Harvesting Dragon Fruits

Fruit is ripe approximately a month after flowering but this can vary with local conditions. Fruit will not
continue to ripen once picked so you need to look for other signs before picking. Check that the
colour of the fruit is bright and even all over and the small “wings” on the fruit are starting to wither.
Lightly press the fruit in your hand and if ripe it will give just a little. Pick by twisting the fruit off the
plant or cut with secatuers. The skin is not edible but the seeds are just like a kiwi fruit.
Propagation of Dragon Fruits
Dragon fruit grow easily from seed or cuttings. To grow from seed, squash some flesh onto paper
towel and keep moist in a warm position but away from direct sunlight. Seeds will sprout 2-3 weeks
later and can be potted up into punnets. Water weekly with eco-seaweed to develop strong
seedlings and pot into individual pots once large enough. Seedlings will take several years to reach
fruiting size.
To take a cutting simply break off a segment 30-50cm long and leave in a dry shady spot for a week.
This allows the cut end to seal and prevents rotting. Plant into a pot and keep in a bright shady spot
while roots are forming before then moving into the sun. Don’t over water during this time. Cuttings
can be taken at any time but will grow faster if done during the warmer months.

Pests and Diseases of Dragon Fruit

Dragon fruit are generally tough plants but watch out for the following problems which can crop up:
 Caterpillars – pick these off by hand as soon as you see them. Read our caterpillar control
guide for more tips.
 Mites, mealybugs and other sap suckers – control with eco-oil.
 Snails and slugs – young plants are most vulnerable as snails and slugs can chew away large
sections and interfere with the initial training of the main stems. Less of an issue with
established plants. Click through for various methods to control snails and slugs.
 Fungal problems – high humidity and overhead watering can sometimes cause various
diseases to develop on stems, flowers and fruit. Prune off badly affected sections and if the
plant is congested remove additional branches to improve airflow. Adjust your watering regime
to eliminate overhead watering. Improve plant strength with weekly applications of eco-
seaweed. Spray with eco-fungicide depending on the particular disease.
 Split fruit – usually due to excessive watering/rain when the fruit is ripening.
 Stem/root rot – most common when grown in poorly draining soil or regions which have cold
wet winters. Work on improving soil drainage (eco-flo gypsum will help) or move into a pot with
a well draining potting mix.

2. Plant flush with the soil line. If you're using cuttings or a farm-ordered plant from a
box, take it with carefully from its container and replant it flush with its new soil line. If
you're using seeds, sprinkle a few into each container and cover lightly with soil.

 As for seeds, you'll have to wait and see which ones take. In a few weeks, you'll have sprouts
and they'll likely need separated. If not, they may not reach their full potential.
 Consider mixing a small amount of slow time release fertilizer into the lower level of the soil
before planting ; this may help your plant grow faster.[5]
3. Fertilize only occasionally. Even a cutting will take up to four months to get a good,
strong root system going.[6] However, when it comes to fertilizers, be wary: too much can
easily kill your plant. For best results, feed them a little slow-time release, low-nitrogen
cactus fertilizer only about once every two months. You may be tempted to do more to
see more immediate growth, but it won't help.[7
4. Water the dragon fruit plant in the same manner as a tropical cactus. In other
words, only give it a little water when it's practically dry. If your plant is large enough by
now to have a climbing pole, keep the climbing pole moist. A dripper would be useful in
this situation.

 Overwatering is possibly the most common reason plants die. Don't be tempted; they don't need
it. If you're using a pot, keep in mind how it drains. If there are no drain holes, it needs even
less; otherwise the water will just stay in the bottom and lead to rot and decay.
Part 3
Harvesting the FruiT
1Watch the dragon fruit plant grow. While your plant may take a couple of years to get fully
going, some hit giant spurts where they can grow a foot in a week. When it does start
 developing, you may want to use a climbing pole to give it structure. This can help it reach its
full potential without it breaking or weighing itself down.

 If you've planted your dragon fruit plant from seeds and they're now visibly growing, separate
them into their own pots. They need their own turf to grow and flourish.
 You'll notice a bloom start to develop over the course of many weeks. However, it will
only actually bloom for one night (yep, it's nocturnal) so you'll likely miss it in its full glory.
Mastartny are self-pollinating (if it's not you can try hand-pollination; brush the pistil's natural
pollen down into the inside of the flower).[8] If a fruit is going to develop, you'll notice the flower
wither and the base of the bloom begin to swell. [9]
2. Prune the plant. Dragon fruit plants can get quite large; some varieties can even reach
upwards of 20 feet (6.1 m).[10] When it gets too large, start pruning it by cutting off some
branches. Less weight may actually get it stronger, concentrate the nutrients,
and encourage it to flower.

 You don't necessarily have to throw the branches away! You can either repot them yourself and
grow another plant (they will take root virtually effortlessly) or give them away as a gift.
3. Pick the fruit in the latter half of the year. Dragon fruit usually produces ripe fruit in late
summer or fall, but can fruit at almost any time of year if it receives enough water and warmth.
You can tell that a dragon fruit is ripe when the skin turns red or yellow, depending on variety.
The skin will also feel slightly soft when squeezed, but not mushy.[11]

4.Eat up. You've been waiting years for this moment, so savor it. You can cut the fruit into
quarters and tear off the rind or just dig into it with a spoon. It's sweet and has a texture that
resembles kiwifruit but it's a little crunchier.

 Once in full production, you could see four to six fruit-bearing cycles per year. They amp up
eventually; it just takes them a little while to get there. So don't think your first fruit will be your
last. You've waited patiently and now abundance is your reward.[12]
 Tips

 A quick way to plant pitaya (dragon fruit) is to simply break or cut a bit of an existing plant.
Separated branches do not wither, but rather sprout their own roots in search of new soil.

Warnings
 The plants can handle temperatures up to 40°C (104°F) and very short periods of frost, but will
not survive long exposure to freezing temperatures.

 Overwatering or excessive rainfall can cause the flowers to drop and its fruit to rot
