Journal Title: International Journal of Microbiology Research - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The experiment was conducted at the experimental unit of the Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Indore (M.P.). Experiment was conducted under naturally ventilated polyhouse. Uniformly developed budded plants of Dutch roses were planted in double row system at spacing of 40 x 40 cm from row to row and plant to plant, respectively, thereby adjusting 12 plants per 2.4 m2 plot. The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD Factorial) with three soil based substrates like; soil + FYM + sand (G1), soil + FYM + cocopeat (G2) and soil + FYM + sawdust (G3) mixed in 2:1:1 (v/v) and three fertilizers treatments viz., water soluble fertilizers (F1), commercial straight fertilizers (F2) and Biofertilizers + water soluble fertilizers (F3), thereby making a total of nine treatment combinations which were replicated thrice. Results revealed that plants grown in a medium containing soil + FYM + sawdust and fertilized with water soluble fertilizers (G3F1) resulted in maximum plant height (75.28 cm), Earlier flower bud initiation (124.70 days), Leaf area (35.45 cm2), Size of flower (9.09 cm), No. of flowers per plant (15.9) and Flower yield of 2,61,800 flower stems per hectare.
