ThesisItem Restricted COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF GRAIN DAMAGE WITH AXIAL FLOW THRESHER AND GRAIN COMBINE(PUNJAB AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY; LUDHIANA, 1999) SINGH, ARVINDER; GARG, I. K.05052017_0001_0006_Abstract.pdfThesisItem Open Access STANDARDIZATION OF SUJALA FERTILIZER DOSES AND METHODS OF APPLICATION ON GROWTH AND FLOWERING OF CARNATION (Dianthus caryophyllus Linn.)(2011) SINGH, ARVINDER; SHARMA, B.P.ABSTRACT The present studies entitled “Standardization of Sujala fertilizer doses and methods of application on growth and flowering of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus Linn.) were carried out at the Research Farm of Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan during the year 2010-2011. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 16 different fertigation and foliar treatments of water soluble fertilizer, Sujala (19:19:19 NPK) replicated thrice with 25 plants per replication. The different fertigation and foliar treatments were started after 40 days of the plantation of the rooted cuttings in growing media comprising of soil: FYM: coco peat (2:1:1, v/v) in naturally ventilated polyhouse. The data was recorded for three consecutive flower flushes during the course of studies. The results revealed that plants treated with treatment T13 comprising of 250 ppm N and K fertigation through Urea and MOP and further supplemented by foliar application of 250 ppm NPK foliar spray through Sujala once a week recorded maximum plant height (84.04cm), stem length (68.66cm), lesser time to flower bud formation (102.18days), first flowering (129.91days), to reach harvesting stage (148.23 days) as compared to the recommended practices. Maximum number of flowers per plant (6.90), flower size (7.00cm), per cent A-grade flowers based on stem length and stem strength (88.58 and 90.00%), weight of cut flower stem (38.03g),vase life (12.32 days),duration of flowering (23.17 days) were also recorded highest with treatment T13. Highest available NPK content (371.03, 37.09 and 276.87 kg/ha) in medium after each flower flush as well the percent foliar NPK content (2.867, 0.364 and 3.954%) were recorded higher in treatment T13 over recommended practices.
