    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2020-09) Raveena; Malik, Arvind
    The present study entitled, “Studies on growth, flowering and vase life of gerbera varieties (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus) under different growing conitions” was carried out in four different growing conditions viz. polyhouse, insect proof net house, shade net house, open field and varieties viz. Szogun, Salsa, Kormoran and Feliks at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the year 2019-2020. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Observations were recorded on growth, flowering and vase life parameters. The results showed that both growing conditions and varieties have significant effect on almost all the parameters of growth, flowering and vase life..While studying effect of growing conditions on vegetative parameters, plant spread, (68.55cm ), number of leaves (22.67) and leaf length (35.88 ) were maximum under poly house while plant height was maximum under shade net. Among the varieties Szogan recorded maximum plant spread ( 74.95 cm) and leaf length (37.38 cm) . Whereas, Salsa showed maximum number of leaves per plant (21.47), plant height (32.73 cm) and leaf width (14.68). In flowering parameters ,minimum days to bud initiation (99.18) and number of days taken for bud imitation to harvest (32.15 days ), maximum stalk length (59.76 cm ) Stalk diameter ( 6.99 cm) , flower diameter (12.12 cm ) , diameter of flower disc (2.37 cm) , number of ray floret per flower (62.33) , number of flowers (8.7) , length of ray floret and dry weight were maximum under polyhouse while fresh flower weight ( 40.58 g) was maximum under insect proof net house. Among varieties Szogun performed better with respect to days to bud initiation, number of days taken for bud imitation to harvest, stalk diameter , number of flowers, length of ray floret , fresh flower weight and dry weight while Kormoran had maximum stalk length, Salsa recorded with maximum number of ray florets where as Feliks had maximum flower disc diameter and length of ray floret. Similarly polyhouse grown Szogun flowers had more water uptake (199.65 ml) maximum days taken to flower drooping (13.81 days), days taken for petal discoloration (8.50 days). days taken for petal shrivelling (10.43 days) and vase life (10.25 days). While among chemicals , flower placed in 8-HQC 200 ppm had more water uptake (221.51 ml), maximum days taken to flower drooping (15.47 days), days taken for petal discoloration (9.06 days), days taken for petal shriveling (12.50 days) and vase life (11.25 days).

    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-08) Manisha; Beniwal, B. S.
    The present study entitled “Response of organic manures on growth, flowering and spike yield of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.)” cv. Prajwal was carried out at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Centre of Excellence for Organic Farming, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the year 2020-21. In this experiment, three sources of organic manures viz., FYM, vermicompost and poultry manure were taken along with their five levels (control, 2 Kg/m2 , 3 Kg/m2 , 4 Kg/m2 and 5 Kg/m2 ). This experiment comprising of fifteen treatments laid out in split plot design with three replications. The plot size was kept 1.5 m x 1.5 m with spacing 30 cm x 30 cm between row to row and plant to plant. Among the different organic manures vermicompost gave best results followed by poultry manure and FYM. Days taken to initiation of sprouting and complete sprouting were minimum with the application of poultry manure while early spike emergence, early opening of first floret, maximum plant height, length of leaves, number of leaves per clump, length of spike, length of rachis, stem diameter, number of florets per spike, spike weight, number of bulbs per clump, diameter of bulb, weight of bulb, spike longevity under field and vase conditions were observed when fertilized with vermicompost @ 4 Kg/m2 whereas maximum organic carbon in soil & potassium content in leaves and soil with the application of vermicompost @ 5 Kg/m2 . Nitrogen & Phosphorus content of plant and soil was observed maximum with poultry manure @ 5 Kg/m2 . Among microbial activities, dehydrogenase activity was maximum with FYM and alkaline phosphatase activity with poultry manure @ 5 Kg/m2

    Effect of bio inoculants on Asiatic lily under different growing conditions
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-07) Neha; Malik, Arvind
    The present investigation entitled “Effect of Bio inoculants on Asiatic lily under different growing conditions” was conducted during 2020-2021 at Agri-tourism Centre CCSHAU, Hisar, Haryana. The experiment comprised three growing conditions (polyhouse, shadenet and open field) and eight bio inoculated treatments with three replications. Various combinations of treatments consisting of RDF, Azotobacter, PSB and Mycorrhiza were applied. During the period of investigation, the treatments showed a varied response. Out of the three growing conditions, Asiatic lily cultivated under polyhouse was observed to be performing better in vegetative and floral parameters than the shadenet as well as open field conditions, resulting in early bud emergence (51.08 days), early colour change of first flower/floral bud (100.48 days), early opening of first flower (102.39 days ) and in addition to these, the maximum plant height (109.13 cm), the number of leaves/plant (71.75), floral bud length (9.74 cm) floral bud diameter (3.08 cm), flower diameter (22.03 cm) and stem length (100.21 cm) was also observed under polyhouse conditions. However, the various bulb parameters and leaf length (9.86 cm) and leaf width (2.67 cm) were recorded maximum under shadenet. In contrast, flowering buds/plant (5.06) and the maximum stem diameter (8.92 mm) was recorded in the open field. All the vegetative characters, flowering characters, bulb parameters and microbiological studies were found to be best in treatment T8 (RDF + Azotobacter + PSB + Mycorrhiza). The interaction of bio inoculants and growing conditions also influenced few characters in Asiatic lily. Among the vegetative parameters, parameters viz. days taken to bulb sprouting, plant height, number of leaves/plant, and leaves length were significantly influenced by the interaction of growing conditions and different treatments.

    Effect of different growing conditions and genotypes on growth and flowering of Asiatic lily
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2020-07) Savita; Chahal, Devender
    The present investigation entitled “Effect of different growing conditions and genotypes on growth and flowering of Asiatic lily” was conducted during 2019-2020 at Agri-tourism Centre CCSHAU, Hisar, Haryana. The experiment comprised of 12 treatments i.e. three growing conditions (polyhouse, shade-net and open field) and four varieties (Courier White, Tresor, Red Stone and Nova Lux) with three replication. The results revealed that the var. Tresor performed better in vegetative and floral parameters as compared to other varieties viz. Courier White, Nova Lux and Red Stone resulting in early bulb sprouting (5.11 days), early floral bud emergence (54.11days), early colour change of first floral bud (103.08 days) and early opening of first flower (111.82 days). Var. Red Stone also performed better as compared to other two varieties resulting in maximum weight of bulbs/plant (59.03 g), and also observed next to the var. Tresor in various parameters viz. days taken to bulb sprouting, plant height, number of leaves/plant, leaf length, days taken to emergence of flower bud, floral bud length, floral bud diameter, stem length, stem diameter, diameter of bulb and number of bulblets/plant which were observed maximum in var.Tresor. However, the maximum leaf width (2.33 cm) and number of flowering buds/plant (6.97) were recorded in var. Nova Lux and the maximum flower diameter (20.02 cm) was observed in var. Courier white. Out of the three growing conditions, Asiatic lily cultivated under polyhouse was observed to be performing better in vegetative and floral parameters than the shade-net as well as open field conditions, resulting in early bud emergence (49.83 days), early colour change of first floral bud (99.32 days), early opening of first flower (101.61 days ) and in addition to these, the maximum plant height (107.10 cm), number of leaves (66.57) & flowering buds (5.06) per plant, floral bud diameter (3.42 cm), flower diameter (20.59 cm) and stem length (100.00 cm) was also observed under polyhouse. However, the various bulb parameters as well as leaf length (9.74 cm), leaf width (2.32 cm) and floral bud length (9.89 cm) were recorded maximum under shade-net, whereas the maximum stem diameter (1.05 cm) was recorded under open field. The interaction of varieties and growing conditions also influenced few characters in asiatic lily. Henceforth, the var. Tresor and Red Stone grown under polyhouse comparatively performed better than the other varieties and growing conditions in vegetative and floral parameters, but these two varieties when grown under the shade-net comparatively performed better in bulb parameters.
