Effect of Different Levels of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium on Floral Characters of African Marigold (Targetes erecta L.) cv. PUSA NARANGI GAINDA
Subscribe/Renew Journal
A field experiment was conducted on African marigold with different levels of fertilizer doses i.e. 0 g, 11g and 22g of N2, 0 g, 10g and 20g of P2O5 and 0 g, 4 g and 8 g of K2O/m2 at the field of Department of Horticulture, C.C.R. (P.G.) College, Muzaffarnagar (U.P.) during the winter season 2008-2009. Most of the flowering characters were found increased at higher level of N, P and K. By observing the data it can be suggested that 150 kg/ha N2, 100 kg/ha P2O5 and 30 kg/ha K2O were found suitable dose for the commercial cultivation of African marigold in western plain zone of U.P.
