Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Integrated Nutrient Management in French Marigold (Tagetes patula)” was carried out at Experimental Farm, Division of Vegetable Science & Floriculture, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Chatha during 2018-19. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) and comprised of twenty three treatments viz., T1 = Farmers practice; T2 = Control (Recommended dose of marigold by PAU (200 kg N, 100 kg P2O5 and 100 kg K2O/ha); T3 = 75% RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2); T4 = 75% RDF + Biofertilizers;T5 = 75% RDF + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34);T6 = 75 % RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + Biofertilizers; T7 = 75% RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34); T8 = 75 % RDF + Biofertilizers + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34); T9 = 75% RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + Biofertilizers + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34); T10= 50% RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2); T11= 50 % RDF + Biofertilizers;T12= 50 % RDF + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34);T13= 50% RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + Biofertilizers; T14= 50 % RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34); T15= 50 % RDF + Biofertilizers + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34); T16= 50 % RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + Biofertilizers + 1% foliar spray of MssKP (00:52:34); T17= 25 % RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2);T18= 25 % RDF + Biofertilizers; T19= 25 % RDF + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34); T20= 25 % RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + Biofertilizers; T21= 25 % RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34); T22= 25 % RDF + Biofertilizers + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34); T23= 25% RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + Biofertilizers + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34). The maximum plant height (90.10 cm) and highest number of laterals (21.89), were recorded with treatment T7 (i.e. 75% RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34). However, the maximum flower diameter (6.20g), weight of flower (5.78 g), 1000 seed weight (11.67g), available P (33.23 kg/ha), Flower yield per plant (0.50 kg), seed yield/plant (105.91 g), available N (257.17 Kg/ha), total leaf N(1.367g) was recorded maximum with treatment T9 comprising of 75 % RDF + Spent mushroom compost (1 kg/m2) + Biofertilizers + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34). Number of flowers per plant, and highest B:C ratio was observed with treatment T8 comprising of 75 % RDF + Biofertilizers + 1% foliar spray of MKP (00:52:34). The effects of treatments on flowering duration (days), shoot: root ratio, electrical conductivity (dS/m), was found to be non-significant.
