    Abstract


    This paper reported  the success of propagation via callus of dragon fruit and growth  of  in vitro derived plants in  nursery. MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BA was effective for shoot regeneration from callus while MS medium containing 0.5 mg/l NAA was suitable for root induction. Rooted plantlets were acclimatized successfully after one months transferred to green-house and grown in a 1:1 (v:v) soil to coir mixture. Vigorous plants were obtained after four months using 16:16:8 fertilizer  with watering 2 times per day.
