    (CCSHAU, 2007) Subhash Chander; Beniwal, B.S.
    A pot experiment was conducted with three organic manures (FYM, vermicompost and poultry manure) along with six levels (50, 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000g/kg of sand) during 2006-07 in the Deptt. of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to find out the effect of organic manures on growth, flowering and yield of French marigold (Tagetes patula L.). The growth parameters of French marigold (plant height, spread and number of shoots per plant) were maximum with the application of 1000g per kg of sand of different organic manures. Early floral bud initiation, early flowering, maximum number of flowers per plant, seed germination(%), seed vigour-I & II and per cent NPK content of plant were observed with the application of 1000g per kg of sand of different organic manures. Flower diameter, fresh weight of flower, seed yield per plant and 1000 seed weight recorded maximum with levels of 750g organic manures per kg of sand. Flower yield was maximum when fertilized with 750g per kg of sand with FYM and poultry manure with the level of 750g and in case of vermicompost it was maximum with 1000g vermicompost per kg of sand. Longevity of flower was highest (20 days) with the application of 1000g vermicompost per kg of sand. Among the different organic manures poultry manure gave the best results followed by vermicompost and FYM.
