摘要

紅龍果為快速發展的新興果樹產業，具有成園時間短、栽培門檻容易以及植株適應性廣等特點，因此廣受栽培者青睞。近年來紅龍果市場價格穩定，不需人工授粉的紅肉種新品種推出以及冬、春季產調果價格高昂，進而造成一股種植風潮，種植面積快速增長，105年已達2,490公頃。而促使紅龍果產業蓬勃發展的主因，則為紅龍果產期調節穩產技術的研發，目前產期調節技術主要為9月起進行夜間燈照，延長產期生產12-3月的冬期果，或是於3月開始夜間電照，提早產期生產5月的春期果。此外，運用產期調節技術可以達到產期分配的目的，減少6-11月正期果的產銷壓力，維持市場的供需穩定，有利於紅龍果產業的持續發展。

Pitaya is a new and rapid development fruit industry. The characteristics of this fruit crop include the time from planting to harvest is short, cultivation threshold is low, and plant has wide adaptability. So, many cultivators like to grow pitaya. In recent years, the prices of pitaya are rather stable, the red flesh varieties without the need of artificial pollination at night are bred, and price of off-season fruit in winter and spring are high. These factors result in the planting areas of pitaya rapidily increase to 2,490 hectares in 2016. While the main reason of vigorous growth is the development of stable off-season production technology. This technology use lighting at night in September to extend winter fruit production from December to March, or start lighting in March to produce spring season fruit in May. In addition, the pitaya off-season production technology can achieve the purpose of evenly distributed production year-round, to reduce the pressure of fruit production and sales from to June to November. Maintaining stability of market supply and demand is conducive to the sustainable development of the pitaya industry.
