Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out to “Studies on the effect of bio-inoculants and Gibberellic acid on flowering of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.)” at the Main Experiment Station, Department of Floriculture & Landscape, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during winter season in the year 2019-2020 and 2020-21. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with 12 treatments replicated thrice to assess the effect Bio-Inoculants and Gibberellic Acid on flowering attributes of African Marigold.
During the investigation, the treatment A3G4 (Azotobacter by soil treatment 4L/ha and Gibberellic acid 200 ppm) has given the maximum beneficial effect on the flowering parameters (days to first bud initiation (40.67, 38.67 days), days to first flowering(50.67, 49.00 days), days taken 50% flowering (63.00, 61.33 days), duration of flowering (54.00 and 55.00 days), length of flower stalk (8.67,9.33cm), number of flowers per plant (55.33, 56.33) fresh weight of flower (10.89, 11.33 g), dry weight of flower (0.98, 0.98) and flower diameter (7.89, 8.00 cm) during winter season in the year 2019-2020 and 2020-21 as compared to individual application of GA3 and Azotobacter treatments but their interaction effect was found non-significant.
