Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Influence of Integrated Nutrient Management on the Growth and Yield of African Marigold (Tageteserecta L.) variety PusaNarangiGainda” was carried out at Experimental Farm, ACHR Udeywala, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammuduring2021-22. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) and comprised twelve treatments viz., 100 %RDF + FYM (Control), 100 % RDF + Vermicompost, 100 % RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, 100 %RDF + FYM + Vermicompost, 100 %RDF +FYM + Azotobacter + PSB, 100 % RDF + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB, 75 % RDF + FYM (Control), 75 % RDF + Vermicompost, 75 % RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, 75 % RDF + FYM + Vermicompost, 75 % RDF + FYM + Azotobacter + PSB and 75 % RDF + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB.The maximum plant height (57.05 cm), plant spread (42.07 cm E-W and 41.07 cm N-S direction), number of primary branches per plant (10.07), earliest days taken to flower bud initiation (52.60 days), days taken to first flower appearance (20.61 days), maximum flowering duration (69.80 days), flower diameter (7.49 cm), number of flowers per plant (37.10), average flower weight (10.00 g), shelf life (8.73 days), flower yield per plant (0.371 Kg), flower yield per plot (9.27 kg), flower yield per hectare (185.44 q), higher chlorophyll (47.94 mg/g)and carotenoid content (0.94 mg/g) , and highest B:C ratio was observed with the application of 100 % RDF + FYM + Azotobacter + PSB.
