Abstract

A field experiment to study “Effect of phosphorus on growth and flowering of Marigold (Tageteserecta)was conducted at the Mid-Western Academy and Research Institute Campus of live sciences Tulsipur, Dang. The variety used in this experiment was Karma orange. The experiment was laid out Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications of each treatment. Data were collected using simple random sampling without replacement. In the experiment marigold plants were fertilized with seven different doses of phosphorous (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 kg/ha). Dose of nitrogen (200kg/ha) and potash (90kg/ha) was constant throughout the filed. Result revealed that application of phosphorous significantly affected the various yield governing parameters like number of branches, number of flowers per plant, flower diameter and flower weight but other factors like plant height, days of first bud appearance, days of flowering were not significantly affected. The result obtained were maximum plant height (54.06cm) at 20 kg/ha, maximum number of branches at 100kg/ha, maximum number of flowers per plant at peak bloom stage was 42 at 80kg/ha, fresh flower diameter (7.55cm) at 100kg/ha and fresh flower weight (15.96gm) at 100kg/ha. Maximum yield obtained in three successive harvesting was (622.39gm/plant) at 100kg/ha and the minimum yield was (349.43gm/plant) at control treatment. From this experiment we can conclude that (100 kg/ha) dose of phosphorus might be best for obtaining maximum yield at Tulsipur, Dang condition.
