    EFFECT OF HUMIC ACID AND POTASSIUM NITRATE ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF TUBEROSE.
    (Dr. Punjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-07-25) LANJEWAR, AKSHAY NARENDRA.; Jadhav, Dr. G. G.
    The present investigation entitled “ Effect of humic acid and potassium nitrate on growth, yield and quality of tuberose” was carried out at the farm of Horticulture Section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur from August, 2018 to January, 2019 with the objectives to study the effect of humic acid and potassium nitrate on growth, flowering, yield and quality of tuberose and to find out the suitable combination of humic acid and potassium nitrate for better growth, flowering, yield and quality of tuberose. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The treatments comprised of four levels of humic acid viz., control , 0.05% HA, 0.1% HA and 0.15% HA and four levels of potassium nitrate viz., Control ,1% KNO3, 1.5% KNO3 and 2% KNO3 with sixteen treatment combinations The results of the present investigation indicated that, significantly maximum vegetative growth of tuberose in respect of earliest sprouting of bulbs, maximum sprouting of bulbs, shoots plant -1,plant height, number of leaves plant-1 and leaf area were recorded with application of 0.15% HA and 1.5% KNO3. In respect of flowering characters, minimum days to initiation spike, days to opening of first floret, days to 50 per cent flowering and days to first harvesting were recorded with application of 0.15% HA and 1.5% KNO3. The yield parameters viz., spikes plant-1, spikes plot-1, spikes ha-1, florets spike-1, bulbs plant-1, bulbs plot-1, bulbs ha-1, in tuberose were recorded maximum with the treatment of 0.15% HA and 1.5% KNO3. Similarly, The quality parameters in respect of length of spike, diameter of spike, length of floret, diameter of floret, length of rachis, diameter of bulb and vase life in tuberose were recorded maximum with the treatment 0.15% HA and 1.5% KNO3. However, interaction effect of humic acid and potassium nitrate in respect of all vegetative, flowering, yield and quality parameters were found non significant.

    EFFECT OF FOLIAR SPRAY OF MICRO-NUTRIENTS ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF CHINA ASTER.
    (Dr. Punjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-08-02) BHOMLE, KU. DHANASHRI DEVIDAS.; Raut, Dr. V. U.
    The treatments comprising four micronutrients viz., ZnSO4, FeSO4, CuSO4 and MgSO4 (@ 0.2% and 0.4% each sprayed 30 and 45 days after transplanting along with control were tried in randomized block design with three replications and nine treatments. The results revealed that foliar spray of FeSO4 @ 0.4% (T5) at an interval of 30 and 45 days after transplanting produced significantly maximum plant height (75.83 cm), plant spread at 50 % flowering (27.07 cm), number of branches (9.23) per plant, maximum stem diameter (1.42 cm) and leaf area (47.50 cm2). In respect of flowering characters, viz., days to first flower bud emergence (57.73), days to opening of flower from bud emergence (7.71 days), days to 50% flowering (69 days), were recorded minimum with the treatment T5 FeSO4 0.4% and blooming period (67.65 days) recorded maximum with the treatment T5 FeSO4 0.4% . The yield parameters viz., number of flowers plant-1 (52.33), flower yield plant-1 (226.67 g), flower yield plot-1 (9.35 kg), flower yield ha-1 (26.32 q) , were recorded maximum with the treatment T5 FeSO4 0.4% .Similarly, the quality parameters weight of flower (4.33 g), diameter of fully opened flower (6.32 cm), number of petals flower-1 (24.97), shelf life (1.85 days) and longetivity (26.83 days) recorded maximum with the treatment T5 FeSO4 0.4%. Length of flower along with pedicel (22.98 cm), length of pedicel (3.58 cm), recorded maximum with treatment T4 FeSO4 0.2%. Nutrient status like Fe, Zn, Cu and Mg content in leaves were significantly increased due to there respective application.The maximum Fe content in leaves (1301.41ppm) was recorded in treatment FeSO4 @ 0.4 % (T5). While, maximum Zn content in leaves (64.44ppm) was recorded in treatment ZnSO4 @ 0.4% (T3) which was significantly highest as COMPARED to control (21.47ppm).

    (Dr. Punjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2019-08-02) POTE, KU. MONALI DILIPRAO.; Gajbhiye, Dr. R. P.
    The results obtained in the present investigation in respect of vegetative growth parameters in terms of days to sprouting of corms (days), sprouting of corms (%), shoots plant-1, plant height, leaves plant-1, leaf area were recorded maximum with the treatment P3 i.e. spacing 30 x 15 cm and raised bed layout (L2). In respect of flowering characters, viz., days to first spike emergence, days to opening of first floret, days to 50 per cent flowering were recorded minimum with the treatment P3 i.e. spacing 30 x 15 cm and raised bed layout (L2). The yield parameters viz., spikes plant-1 were recorded maximum with the treatment P3 i.e. spacing 30 x 15 cm and raised bed layout (L2), spikes plot-1 and spikes ha-1 were recorded maximum with the treatment P3 i.e. spacing 20 x 10 cm and raised bed layout (L2). Corms plant-1, corms plot-1, corms ha-1, cormels plant-1, cormels plot-1, cormels ha-1were recorded maximum with the treatment P1 i.e. spacing 45 x 15 cm and raised bed layout (L2). Similarly, the quality parameters like length of spike, diameter of spike, length of rachis and vase life of flower were recorded maximum with the treatment P3 i.e. spacing 30 x 15 cm and raised bed layout (L2). Diameter of corm, weight of corm, weight of corms plant-1, weight of cormel, weight of cormels plant-1 and diameter of cormels plant-1 were recorded maximum with the treatment P1 i.e. spacing 45 x 15 cm and raised bed layout (L2).
