Influence of integrated nutrient management on flower yield and economics of marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) cv. Pusa Basanti Gainda
Author(s): Ramesh Koli and R Jayanthi
Abstract: The study consist of integrated application of organic (FYM, Biofertilizers), recommended inorganic fertilizer (225:60:60 NPK/ha) and Micro nutrient foliar spray showed the significant influence on the growth, yield and quality of marigold cv. Pusa Basanti Gainda. Among the different treatment combinations, T8 (100 % RDF + FYM + Arka Microbial Consortium+ VAM + Micro nutrient foliar spray) recorded the higher individual flower weight (9.92g), fresh weight of ten flowers (98.60g), dry weight of ten flowers (13.00 g), flower diameter (6.13cm). The maximum benefit cost ratio was obtained in 75 % RDF + FYM + Arka Microbial Consortium + VAM + Micro nutrient foliar spray (T9). Which recorded significantly highest flower yield ton per hectare (9.57 ton ha-1), with a B: C ratio of 2:98 and minimum was recorded in control (T1) which registered lowest flower yield ton per hectare (7.00 ton ha-1) with a B: C ratio of 1:72 with respect to most of the treatments studied. The study concludes that significant influence of combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers on African marigold to enhance the flowering yield and their characters.
