The experiment was conducted to standardize the nitrogen application for the standard potted Chrysanthemum morifolium cultivar Snowball, during the year 2015-16 in Ludhiana. The nitrogen (as urea) was applied twice in mid-September and mid-October, in six different treatments i.e. control, 100 mg/pot, 200 mg/pot, 300 mg/pot, 400 mg/pot and 500 mg/pot. The different levels of nitrogen doses had significant (p<0.05) effect on the vegetative growth and flowering, however, the application of 500 mg/poturea gave maximum plant height (73.03 cm), number of leaves (31.02), ischolar_main suckers per plant (12.10), flower size (17.67 cm) and delayed flower bud appearance, colour break stage and full bloom (70.55, 85.17 and 115.28 days, respectively), however, deteriorated flower quality with respect to reduced flowering duration (6.15 days). Therefore, it was concluded that 300 mg urea/pot applied twice was optimum dose of nitrogen application for quality flower pot production.Keywords

The light-weight growing medium compositions were evaluated in the present study for optimum growth and flowering of potted Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat cv. Snowball. Plants were grown in six different potted medium compositions – control: garden soil + (farmyard manure (FYM) 2 : 1), cocopeat + FYM (1 : 1), cocopeat + FYM (2 : 1), vermiculite + FYM (1 : 1), vermiculite + FYM (2 : 1) and cocopeat + vermiculite + FYM (1 : 1 : 1). Results revealed vegetative growth with maximum plant height, number of leaves and ischolar_main suckers per plant in the case of cocopeat + FYM (2 : 1), whereas flower quality, i.e. duration of flowering and flower diameter was highest in media vermiculite + FYM (2 : 1). Moreover, plants showed significant (P < 0.05%) vegetative growth with better flowering time and quality in cocopeat + vermiculite + FYM (1 : 1 : 1). Therefore, the present findings suggest that for growing potted chrysanthemum cv. Snowball for display, light-weight growing medium composition of cocopeat + vermiculite + FYM (1 : 1 : 1) is the best with better plant morphological development and sustained quality flower production.Keywords
