| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment entitled “Effect of pinching and growth retardants on growth, flowering and yield of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) cv. “Pusa Narangi Gainda” was conducted at Horticulture farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur from October, 2006 to March, 2007. Twenty seventh treatment combination consisting of three levels of pinching (no pinching, pinching at 30 DAT and pinching at 45 DAT) and nine levels of growth retardants (i.e. three levels of each CCC, B-9 and MH @ 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm) were laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. According to the treatments pinching was done at 30 and 45 DAT and growth retardants were sprayed twice i.e. at 30 and 45 DAT. On the basis of present investigation it may be concluded that pinching and growth retardants significantly affected growth, flower yield and quality of marigold. Pertaining to the yield of flower, T15 (P1R6) treatment performed the best with the highest yield of flower i.e., 256.52 g/plant, 4.82 kg/plot and 17.41 t/ha as compared to the T7 (P0R7) treatment, where the lowest yield of flower (109.87 g/plant, 2.10 kg/plot and 8.02 t/ha) was recorded. With respect to the net return , T12 (P1R3) treatment was found superior with the maximum net return of Rs. 1,58,762 per hectare in comparison of T1 (P0R1) treatment in which the minimum net return of Rs.70,005 per hectare was obtained. If we concerned upon B:C ratio then T16 (P1R7) treatment was exhibited the highest B:C ratio of 4.921:1 while, the lowest B:C ratio (-0.699:1) was obtained with T6 (P0R6) treatment. | en_US |
