An experiment was conducted during 2009-2010 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and economics of garland chrysanthemum. The present experiment consisted of nine treatments and three replications. Among all treatments, T9 (Azospirillum + PSB + 50% vermicompost equivalent to RDN + 50% recommended NPK) recorded significantly higher plant height (87.00 cm), number of branches/plant (39.61), plant spread (35.77 cm), total dry matter production (22.77 g/plant) and early flower bud initiation (25.13 days after transplanting) while the control recoded lowest growth and yield attributes. The treatment T9 also obtained the highest net income and benefit:cost ratio (Rs. 1,95,135/ha and 4.23, respectively) which is closely followed by treatment (T7) than compared to control.

Abstract


An experiment was conducted during 2009-2010 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and economics of garland chrysanthemum. The present experiment consisted of nine treatments and three replications. Among all treatments, T9 (Azospirillum + PSB + 50% vermicompost equivalent to RDN + 50% recommended NPK) recorded significantly higher plant height (87.00 cm), number of branches/plant (39.61), plant spread (35.77 cm), total dry matter production (22.77 g/plant) and early flower bud initiation (25.13 days after transplanting) while the control recoded lowest growth and yield attributes. The treatment T9 also obtained the highest net income and benefit:cost ratio (Rs. 1,95,135/ha and 4.23, respectively) which is closely followed by treatment (T7) than compared to control.
