RESPONSE OF CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTIVAR DOLLY WHITE TO DIFFERENT SOURCES AND COMBINATIONS OF ORGANIC MANURES UNDER THE MID HILL REGIONS OF UTTARAKHAND
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 59
Abstract
The present investigation was conducted to find out suitable organic manures for quality flower production of Chrysanthemum cv. Dolly white. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 replications and 11 treatments. This included viz; control, FYM, Vermicompost, Forest litter, Goat manure, FYM + Vermicompost, FYM + Forest litter, FYM + Goat manure, Vermicompost + Forest litter, Vermicompost + Goat manure and Forest litter + Goat manure. The results of the study revealed that the treatment T10 Vermicompost (2 t/ ha) and Goat manure (25 t/ ha) significantly recorded maximum Plant height (95.46 cm), Number of primary (5.93) and secondary (24.00) branches, earliest Number of days taken to bud initiation (81.63), Days taken to 1st opening of flower (15.63), Number of days taken to 50% (31.60), 100% (45.16) flowering, maximum number of ray florets (186.40) and Flower weight (1.68). The treatment T10 Vermicompost (20t/ha) and Goat manure (25t/ha) also recorded the highest number of flowers/ plant (70.93), highest number of flowers/ plot (638.37) and highest number of flowers/ hectare (6384000) and highest C: B ratio (1:6.61).Thus, it can be concluded from the findings that application of Vermicompost (2 t/ ha) and Goat manure (25 t/ ha) can be recommended for commercial cultivation of chrysanthemum cv. Dolly white.
