Abstract:
The experiments were laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications at Experimental field, Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (M.S.), during the year 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 to study the effect of NPK levels on seed yield and seed quality of annual chrysanthemum. There were twenty seven treatment combinations of three levels each of nitrogen (100, 150 and 200 kg ha^-1), phosphorus (50, 75 and 100 kg ha^-1) and potassium (50, 75 and 100 kg ha^-1). The results of the present investigation revealed that, the seed yield parameters viz., flowers plant^-1, seed weight flower^-1, seed yield plant^-1, seed yield ha^-1 and seed quality parameters viz., test weight and germination percent of seed were recorded highest with an application of nitrogen 200 kg ha^-1, phosphorus 100 kg ha^-1 and potassium 100 kg ha^-1.
