| dc.description.abstract | The present studies entitled “Effect of plant growth regulators and fertilizer on flowering in spider lily (Hymenocallis littoralis L.)” was carried out at Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Dapoli. Two experiments were carried out namely as effect of plant growth regulators on spider lily and effect of fertilizer on spider lily. The experiment, effect of plant growth regulators on spider lily was laid out in RBD with ten treatments and three replications. Treatments consisted as GA3 150 ppm, GA3 200 ppm, GA3 250 ppm, NAA 50 ppm, NAA 100 ppm, NAA 150 ppm, CCC 750 ppm, CCC 1000 ppm, CCC 1250 ppm and control. Application of plant growth regulators significantly influenced the various plant growth parameters and flowering parameters. Maximum plant height (80.17 cm), maximum number of leaves per plant (122.47), highest leaf area index (0.396 m2) and maximum bundles yield per ha (49054.91) at 270 DAT, was recorded with treatment GA3 at 250 ppm. Less number of days required for emergence of flower (33.00) and for 50% flowering (38.10) recorded in treatment GA3 @ 250 ppm while, maximum length of flower (21.77 cm), maximum diameter of flower (4.35 cm), maximum number of flower buds per plant (71.06), maximum yield of flower buds per plot (3.08 Kg) and maximum yield of flower buds per ha (4.28 t) at 270 DAT, was recorded with treatment GA3 at 250 ppm. Maximum bulb yield per plant (9.87), per plot (13.02 kg) and per ha (28.94 t) was recorded in treatment GA3 at 250 ppm. These parameters were significantly increased with increase in concentration of GA3 and decreased with increase in concentration of NAA and CCC. The experiment, effect of fertilizer on spider lily was laid out in FRBD with 20 treatment combination and four replications. Treatments consisted of five levels of nitrogen (0, 300, 350, 400 and 450 Kg/ha), two levels of phosphorous (0 and 200 kg/ ha) and two levels of potassium (0 and 150 kg/ha) on spider lily. All the growth parameters significantly influenced by different levels of nitrogen. Maximum plant height (98.85 cm), maximum number of leaves (149.38) and (0.879 m2) at 270 DAT, was recorded with application of nitrogen at 450 kg ha-1. Also, less number of days required for emergence of flower and for 50 % flowering, maximum length of flower (20.64 cm), maximum diameter of flower (4.49 cm), maximum number of flowers (56.51), maximum flower yield per plot (1.41 Kg), maximum flower yield per ha (3.92 t), maximum number of bulbs (16.43), maximum bulb yield per plot (196.56 Kg) and maximum bulb yield per ha (46.65 t) at 270 DAT were recorded in T4. All growth parameters were significantly increasing with increase in level of nitrogen application. Less number of days required for emergence of flower (27.60) and for 50% flowering (40.30) was recorded in P1. The number of days required for emergence of flower and for 50% flowering was decreased with increase in level of phosphorous and it remained non-significant. Maximum number of flowers per plant (30.23), maximum flower yield per plot (0.76 Kg), maximum flower yield per ha (2.10 t) at 270 DAT were recorded in P1 200 Kg. Maximum number of bulbs (10.84), maximum bulb yield per plot (162.03 Kg) and maximum bulb yield per ha (41.32 t) was recorded in P1. Bulb yield per ha significantly increased with increase in level of phosphorous application. Application of potassium on spider lily does not significantly influenced the various growth, flower and yield parameters and remain non-significant. Interaction of nitrogen and phosphorous significantly influenced flower yield. Maximum number of flowers per plant (43.37), flower yield per plot (1.08 kg), flowers per ha. (3.01 t) at 270 DAT were recorded in N4 + P1 and K1. Remaining treatments interaction remains non-significant with all parameters. Interaction of nitrogen and phosphorous was significantly influences bulb yield. maximum bulb yield per plot (197.68 Kg), maximum bulb yield per ha (47.37 t) was recorded in N4 + P1 and K1. Remaining treatments interaction remains non-significant with all parameters. | en_US |
