Abstract:
The experiment was carried out in tuberose (Polianthes tuberose) cv. Prajwal to find out the effect of water soluble fertilizers (Urea, N:P:K::19:19:19 and N:P:K::13:00:45) with different doses and combination with straight fertilizers (Urea, DAP and MOP) at G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar during March 2016-January 2018. The bulbs of appropriate size (4.5-5.0 cm) were planted at spacing of 40 × 40 cm. The longest bulb (6.65 cm), maximum average bulb weight (27.82 g) and maximum average bulb diameter (26.42 nm) were found with T₃ treatment (125% of RDF using water soluble fertilizers). The same treatment showed maximum number of bulbs per clump (23.35).
