Some farmers in Telangana have started reusing rubber tyres as the top part of their trellis in Dragon Fruit cultivation. These tyres act as the crown on pillars that hold the framework for the growing vines. On one acre, about 187 circular crowns like these are needed. This idea comes from practices in other countries, but many farmers here still prefer cement tops for support. Sripathi Ponnaiah from Adraspalle in Medchal Malkajgiri said, "I placed the tyres four years ago and none of them cracked. I checked recently; they are still strong." However, some experienced farmers warn that old tyres can crack over time due to exposure to sun, water, and cold. This cracking may cause the vine to collapse. Srinivas Rao Madhavaram, founder of Deccan Exotics FPO, explained, "Dragon fruit plant is a creeper, which cannot support itself. It would not bear fruits or give less produce if it grows only vertically. The circular structure helps it to spread and the stems drop — which helps the plant in flowering. This method helps in having more stems, more flowers and thus more fruits." He recommended a circular diameter of 24 to 28 inches for the best yield. Too big or small circles can cause overcrowding and reduce airflow. In contrast, Panala Shyam Kumar from Kondareddypally in Rangareddy uses cement structures to avoid crop damage. According to G. Suvarna, the Horticulture Officer for Siddipet district, most farmers in Siddipet prefer cement structures. In 2024-25, Siddipet recorded the highest Dragon Fruit output in Telangana, producing 1980 metric tonnes over 183.25 acres. Sangareddy followed with 840.78 MT on 164.725 acres, and Nagarkurnool with 691.2 MT on 120.225 acres. This innovative reuse of tyres could offer farmers a cost-effective and durable alternative to cement crowns for Dragon Fruit growth in Telangana's farms.
