Abstract:
The investigation has been taken place at the Floriculture Farm, Jambuvadi, Department of Horticulture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh (Gujarat). A Randomized Block Design with a factorial concept was employed, involving different twelve treatment combinations. These combinations consisted of three levels of nitrogen (100, 150, and 200 kg ha^-1), two levels of phosphorus (80 and 100 kg ha^-1), and two levels of potassium (70 and 100 kg ha^-1). On the other hand, the treatment with 200 kg ha^-1 of nitrogen, 100 kg ha^-1 of phosphorus, and 100 kg ha^-1 of potassium demonstrated improved yield parameters, including the number of flowers per plant (104.06 g, 94.30 g, 95.18 g respectively), flower yield per plant (436.24 g, 350.21 g, 340.01 g, respectively), flower yield per plot (3926.24 g, 3151.92 g, 3060.09 g, respectively), flower yield per hectare (12.11 t, 9.70 t, 9.42 t, respectively) Furthermore, the soil nutrient status exhibited improvement as the availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil increased (244.86 kg ha^-1, 57.10 kg ha^-1, 226.09 kg ha^-1 respectively).
