dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present investigations entitled, ‘Effect of jeevamrit on growth, flowering and shelf life of marigold’ was carried out at Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (H.P) during 2018-19. First experiment i.e. effect of jeevamrit on growth flowering and shelf life of marigold was laid out in the field in a Randomized Block Design with 7 treatments i.e. T1 (recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) @ 30:20:20 g NPK/m2), T2 (no fertilizers – only FYM @ 5 kg/m2), T3 (no fertilizers), T4 (jeevamrit @ 1 litre/m2 at 15 days interval), T5 (jeevamrit @ 2 litre/m2 at 15 days interval), T6 (jeevamrit @ 25 ppm at 15 days interval), T7 (jeevamrit @ 50 ppm at 15 days interval); replicated four times. The second experiment i.e. effect of storage condition on shelf life of marigold was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with 14 treatment combinations of seven levels of nutrient sources and two levels of storage conditions i.e. cold storage and room temperature with 4 replications. Studies revealed that maximum plant height (72.02 cm), plant spread (49.60 cm), number of side shoots (6.55), number of flowers per plant (23.55), number of flowers per square meter (211.95), individual flower weight (16.40 g), flower weight per plant (368.52 g), flower weight per square meter (3.32 kg), flower diameter (5.80 cm) and duration of flowering (21.30 days) was recorded with application of recommended dose of fertilizer NPK @30:20:20 g/m2. Maximum shelf life (7.71 days) and freshness index (4.16) was recorded with flowers harvested from RDF and stored under cold storage followed by flowers harvested from jeevamrit @ 2 litre/m2 and stored under cold storage.However, among different jeevamrit treatments, maximum plant height (70.45 cm), plant spread (48.55 cm), number of side shoots (5.90 ), number of flowers per plant (20.05), number of flowers per square meter (180.45), individual flower weight (14.94 g), flower weight per plant (279.37 g), flower weight per square meter (2.52 kg), flower diameter (5.29 cm), duration of flowering (19.05 days), shelf life (6.00 days) and freshness index (3.58) was recorded with application of jeevamrit @ 2 litre/m2 at 15 days interval. Minimum number of days taken to visible bud formation (47.15 days) and peak flowering (66.60 days) was recorded when no fertilizers were applied.en_US
