Abstract:
The present investigation the Study the impact of salicylic acid and humic acid on flowering of Lilium cv. Tresorwas carried out during the year 2018-19 and 2019-20, rainy season under the poly shade net structure of RKVY project, Department of Floriculture & Landscaping at Biotechnology-cum-Tissue Culture Centre, O.U.A.T., Bhubaneswar. The trial was conducted separately for each cultivar with fourteen treatments and the treatments comprised of foliar application of Salicylic acid at T₁ (control), T₂ (250 ppm Humic acid), T₃ (500ppm HA), T₄ (750ppm HA), T₅ (1000ppm HA), T₆ (1250 ppm HA), T₇ (1500ppm HA), T₈ (50ppm Salicylic acid), T₉ (75 ppm SA), T₁₀ (100ppm SA), T₁₁ (125ppm SA), T₁₂ (150ppm SA), T₁₃ (175ppm SA), T₁₄ (200 ppm SA). The whole experiment was carried out following Randomized Block Design with four replications. Results revealed that T₁₄ 200 ppm SA recorded significantly flower growth Days for opening of first flower, number of flower per plant, length of flower (cm), petal weight (g), petal width (cm), petal length (cm) and stalk length (cm).
