Abstract: The present investigation entitled ‘Off season flower induction through various stimulants in Jasminum sambac L.’ was carried out at Floriculture Research Farm, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during 2016-17. Foliar application of 0.5% FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 20 ppm NAA to jasmine plants after pruning significantly increased maximum plant height 94.13 cm, longest secondary shoot (19.26 cm), highest number of leaves (14.33) on secondary shoot, plant spread at N-S direction (112.98 cm) and E-W direction (117.07 cm). While Early flower bud initiation (32.58 days), highest flower bud length (11.92 mm) and diameter (8.30 mm), maximum weight of hundred flower bud (25.48 g), maximum shelf life of flower buds (28.26 hours), higher flower yield 181.77 g/plant, 727.08 g/plot and 1262.29 kg/ha) were observed with foliar application of 0.5% FeSO4 +0.5% ZnSO4 +20 ppm NAA (T8). Looking to the economics of present investigation, higher cost benefit ratio (1.63) was obtained in treatment T4 (0.5% Panchgavya).
