Abstract:
Study on use of integrated use of organic manures, inorganic fertilizers and Nano chemicals for augmenting propagation ratio in Hyacinth orientalis cv. Fondant, was carried out at Farm of KVK Ganderbal during year 2018-19. The investigation involved a total of 12 treatment combinations of organic manures viz. Vermicompost, FYM and Sheep manure @ 2 t/4 t/7 t per ha and Nano chemicals viz. Nano char and magic gel @ 50 g/m² besides 90% of RDF to all treatments. Results of the study reveals that minimum days for bulb sprouting after planting (73.50cm) and days taken to third leaf appearance(92.00) was recorded in treatment T₅: Vermicompost 3 t/ha + Magic Gel while as maximum days for the same 83.50 and 93.50 days respectively were observed with treatment T₈: FYM 4t/ha + NANO char. From growth parameters point of view maximum plant height 23.30cm, leaf area758.90cm³, number of offsets per bulb3.00 and diameter of offsets14.19cm was found with treatment T₉: Vermicompost 3 t/ha + NANO char while as minimum values for plant height 21.75cm, leaf area 730.30cm³, minimum number of offsets 2.33 and offset diamter10.15cm resulted with treatment T₃ i.e. FYM 4t/ha + Magic Gel.
