Abstract

The present study "Effect of Different levels of Nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) on vegetative features of Jasmine (Jasminum sambac L. Aiton) during Summer Season" was conducted in the last week of December 2021–November 2022 at the Educational Garden of the Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, College of Agriculture, O.U.A.T., Bhubaneswar. This experiment, which was adapted to RBD and triple replicated, included a total of nineteen treatments with different N, P and K fertilizer combinations (Kg/ha). Out of all the treatments, treatment T13 (N=100 kg/ha, P=120 kg/ha, and K=120 kg/ha) was determined to be the most fruitful in resulting luxuriant vegetative characteristics i.e. plant height (101.51 cm), East-West spreading (83.34 cm), North-South spreading (82.63cm), Leaf area (87.91 cm2), primary shoot length (182.86 cm), Primary shoot thickness (1.34 cm), Number of laterals (17.5). Therefore, it is advised that the jasmine crop in Odisha condition be fertilized with N=100 kg/ha, P=120 kg/ha, and K=120 kg/ha in order to achieve optimal vegetative development and yield qualities.

Conclusion

Based on the results of the experiment, treatment T13 (N=100Kg/ha, P=120 Kg/ha, K=120 Kg/ha) applied twice in split doses as 50 Kg N/ha, 60Kg K/ha, 100 Kg P/ha in basal dose and rest 50 Kg N/ha, 60Kg K/ha in top dressing was proved to be more efficient in boosting various vegetative characteristics. In order to achieve luxuriant yield in jasmine under Odisha conditions, it has been recommended that fertilizer doses of N = 100 kg/ha, P = 120 kg/ha, and K = 120 kg/ha in the form of urea, SSP, and MOP be applied. This recommendation will address the long-standing issues with fertilizer application in jasmine for high flower bud production in Odisha. Hence, it has been recommended that fertilizer dose of N=100Kg/ha, P=120 Kg/ha, K=120 Kg/ha in the form of urea, SSP and MOP produced luxuriant yield in Jasmine under Odisha condition and this recommendation will solve the long awaiting problems of fertilizer application in jasmine for high flower bud production in Odisha.
