Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2390-2401, May 2021., 2021 The study first surveyed on dragon fruit farmers on measures to stimulate flowering in commercial dragon fruit farming in three provinces of Vietnam. We then modified emission spectra of Compact Fluorescent Lamps and used them in field experiments. One improved low‐power CFL bulb showed flowering induction capability comparable to the incandescent bulb.
