Abstract

The experiment was laid out at Floriculture Research Farm, ACH&F, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during 2019-20. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Blocked Design with three replication and twelve treatments viz.T1 = FeSO4 0.5 %, T2 = ZnSO4 0.5 %, T3 = NAA 20 ppm + Urea 2%, T4 = FeSO4 ( 0.5 %) + ZnSO4 (0.5 %) + NAA ( 20 ppm), T5 = Nauroji Novel Organic liquid nutrient 1 %, T6 = Nauroji Novel Organic liquid nutrient 2 %, T7 = Panchgavya 0.5 %, T8 = Panchgavya 1.0 %, T9 = Humic acid 0.25 %, T10 = Humic acid 0.5 %, T11 = Water spray, T12 = No spray (control). Among these treatments foliar application of 0.5% FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 20 ppm NAA to chrysanthemum plants significantly increased maximum plant height 28.83 cm and 34.26 cm, plant spread at N-S direction (27.18 and 30.29 cm) and E-W direction (27.46 cm and 29.48 cm) and highest number of branches per plant (6.93 and 8.53) at 60 and 75 days, respectively. Looking to the economics of present investigation, higher

Foliar application, stimulants and panchgavya.

Conclusion

Related on the findings of present investigation, it can be obtained that foliar application of 0.5% FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 20 ppm NAA at 30, 45 and 60 DATP gave maximum vegetative growth and maximum iron, zinc and chlorophyll content in leaves. While on the basis of economics foliar application of 1.0 % Panchgavya as per above gave better response to highest BCR (3.00) along with fetching better price and get higher net returns (Rs. 365982).
