    EFFICACY OF HERBICIDES ON WEED CONTROL IN AFRICAN MARIGOLD (Tagetes erecta L.) cv. KALKATIA LADDU
    (College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar, 2022) HANUMAGOUDA BHARAMAGOUDRA; Dr. Ashutosh Mishra
    The present investigation “Efficacy of Herbicides on weed control in African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) cv. Kalkatia Laddu” was conducted during 2021-22 in the instructional farm of the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar. The experiment consisted of eleven treatments replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. Among the herbicidal applications, pre-emergence application of Oxyfluorfen @ 1.5 kg a.i/ha recorded minimum number of grass weeds, Broad leaves weeds, Fresh and Dry biomass of weeds at 30 DAT (2.62, 1.36, 3.68 g/m2 and 1.23 g/m2) and at 60 DAT (5.06, 2.72, 6.84 g/m2 and 2.28 g/m2). However, at later stage of crop growth i.e., 90 DAT minimum number of grass weeds (7.32), Broad leaves weeds (3.69), Fresh and Dry biomass of weeds (9.65 g/m2 and 3.21 g/m2) was observed in Weed free (Manual weeding) treatment. The maximum values for these parameters were recorded in control treatment. Similarly, maximum weed control efficiency (83.41% at 30 DAT and 77.24% at 60 DAT) was observed in Oxyfluorfen @ 1.5 kg a.i/ha. However, it was maximum (75.80%) in Weed free treatment at 90 DAT of marigold crop. The minimum weed index (0.00%) recorded in weed free treatment. However, control treatment recorded maximum values for these parameters. Similarly, application of Oxyfluorfen @ 1.5 kg a.i/ha resulted in the maximum plant height (29.16 cm, 54.22 cm and 73.74 cm at 30, 60 and 90 DAT, respectively), plant spread (21.56 cm, 51.31 cm and 67.02 cm at 30, 60 and 90 DAT, respectively), number of primary branches (8.48, 17.26 and 20.64 at 30, 60 and 90 DAT, respectively), stem diameter (7.49 mm, 11.26 mm and 14.26 mm at 30, 60 and 90 DAT, respectively), Fresh and Dry biomass of plants (483.52 g and 101.02 g), days taken to bud visibility (54.51 days), days taken from bud to flower opening (6.15 days), days to 50 % flowering (69.38 days) and maximum B:C ratio (4.49). The maximum fresh and dry weight of flowers (45.59 g and 5.71 g), chlorophyll content (1.82 mg/g), xanthophyll content (2.97 mg/g), essential oil content (0.167 %), number of flowers per plant (84.49), Flower yield per plant, plot, square meter and hectare (325.02 g, 8.12 kg, 2.02 kg and 203.13 q) recorded in Weed free treatment. The maximum flower diameter 91 (4.84 cm) was recorded in Atrazine @ 1.5 kg a.i/ha treatment. The minimum values for these parameters were recorded in control treatment. On the basis of present investigation, it can be concluded that, cultivation of marigold with application Oxyfluorfen @ 1.5 kg a.i/ha was found effective in controlling weeds and enhancing growth, flowering and yield of marigold crop.

    EFFECT OF METHYL JASMONATE AND SALICYLIC ACID ON GROWTH, FLOWERING AND CORM PRODUCTION OF GLADIOLUS (Gladiolus hybridus HORT.) cv. AMERICAN BEAUTY
    (College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar, 2021-12-24) GOTHWAL, JYOTI; Mishra, Ashutosh
    A field experiment entitled “Effect of Methyl Jasmonate and Salicylic acid on Growth, Flowering and Corm Production in Gladiolus (Gladiolus hybridus Hort.) cv. American Beauty” was conducted during Rabi season, 2020-21 at the Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar, Rajasthan. The experiment consisting 9 treatments having two growth regulators viz. Methyl Jasmonate and Salicylic acid each (Foliar spray of sole concentration) and laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Among the sole concentration of Methyl Jasmonate and Salicylic acid treatment T2 (MeJA-100 ppm) was found most effective in the increasing plant height (110.67 cm), number of leaves (12.37), leaf length (44.47 cm), main collar diameter (3.60 cm), plant spread in East -West direction (44.67 cm), internodal length (5.10 cm), spike length (82.75 cm), rachis length (42.68 cm) and number of cormels per plant (24.33). The earliest spike emergence (57.67 days), minimum days for first floret opening (65.67 days) floret diameter (9.63 cm) and number of spikes per plant (2.40) and corm diameter (5.50 cm) were recorded under T1 (MeJA-50 ppm). The maximum number of florets per spike (16.33), number of corms per plant (2.23), weight of corm per plant (137.00 g), weight of corm per plot (2.47 Kg), chlorophyll content (3.53 mg/g), proline content (1.47 μg/g), vase life (13.33 days) and Anthocyanin content (0.30 mg/g) were noticed under T4 (Methyl Jasmonate -200ppm) treatment. The application of Salicylic acid through foliar spray the treatment, T8 (SA-200 ppm) resulted in the maximum plant height (109.20 cm), highest number of leaves (11.67), highest leaf length (42.67 cm), highest main collar diameter (3.03 cm), maximum plant spread in East -West direction (42.67 cm), maximum internodal length (5.03 cm), highest spike length (80.88 cm), maximum rachis length (41.05 cm), maximum number of corms per plant (2.53), highest number of corms per square meter (18.33), highest weight ofcorm per plant (147.33g ), highest weight of corm per plot (3.03 Kg), maximum chlorophyll content (3.59 mg/g), maximum proline content (1.49 μg/g), highest vase life (14.67 days) and highest Anthocyanin content (0.31 mg/g). The earliest spike emergence (58.00 day), first floret opening (67.33 days), maximum floret diameter (9.03cm), highest number of spike per plant (2.13), highest number of spike per quare meter (17.00), maximum diameter of corm (6.03 cm), maximum number of cormels per plant (26.33) and maximum number of cormels per square meter (204.00) were recorded under T5 (Salicylic acid -50 ppm) treatment.

    VALUE ADDITION OF TUBEROSE (Polianthes tuberosa L.) FLOWERS TINTING WITH EDIBLE DYES
    (College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar, 2021-12-06) JAMAGOUDAR, POONAM NARAYAN; Mishra, Ashutosh
    A laboratory experiment was conducted during 2020-2021 on the title “Value Addition of Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) Flowers Tinting with Edible Dyes” in the laboratory, Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalarpatan, Jhalawar. The experiment consists of 3 edibles namely Blue, Tomato Red and Apple Green each of 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% concentration and 2 varieties of tuberose viz., Calcutta Single and Calcutta Double laid out in Completely Randomized Block design with 3 replications. In Calcutta Single, 5% Blue recorded maximum uptake of dye Solution (3.82 g/spike) and maximum per cent increase in fresh weight (3%). The control recorded highest water uptake (73.78 g/spike), maximum protein content (37.57%) and minimum transpiration loss of water (40.67 g/spike). The 4 % Apple Green recorded highest floret size (3.70 cm). Maximum diameter of the floret at the end of vase life (3.23 cm) recorded 2% Blue. Maximum per cent of flower open observed in control (65.61%), 2% Blue (63.24%) and 3% Apple Green (63.37%). Maximum vase life was recorded in control (9.67 days), 2% Blue (9.00 days), 2% Apple Green (8.67 days) and 3% Apple Green (8.67 days). The maximum TSS (6.58 ○B) recorded in 2% Apple Green. In sensory evaluation 4% Apple Green has get highest score in all parameters except Fragrance. In Calcutta Double, maximum vase life was recorded in control (8.33 days), 2% Apple Green (8.00 days), 3% Apple Green (7.67 days). The 5% Blue recorded maximum dye uptake (4.03 g/ spike) and maximum per cent increase in fresh weight (3.63%). The 3% Apple Green recorded highest floret size (3.54 cm) and maximum diameter of the floret at the end of vase life (3.07 cm).The control recorded highest water uptake (64.94 g/spike) and minimum transpiration loss of water (34.82 g/spike). The 2% Apple Green recorded maximum per cent of flower open (64.70%) maximum TSS (3.70 ○B) and maximum crude protein (36.39%).The darkest shades were obtained in tuberose spike treated with higher concentration of dye solution while lightest shades were obtained lower concentration in each of the edible dye. As the concentration of edible dye increases, vase life and fragrance of the flower decreases. Floret drop was minimum in control and Blue edible dyes. As the increase in vase life, decreases colour intensity on petals was recorded but flower did not lose their full colour. Uniform colour spreading in lower concentration than the higher concentration. Tinting with edible dyes enhances the value of tuberose crop because, tinted flowers have more overall acceptability than untreated one and tinted spike have the maximum Benefit: Cost ratio. Calcutta Single develops the more uniform colour than the Calcutta Double. In all edible Dyes 4% Apple Green was best treatment because it is having maximum Benefit: Cost ratio (Calcutta Single 1.89 and Calcutta Double 1.74) and more consumers acceptability.
