Abstract:
The present investigation “Effect of bulb size and soaking treatments on growth, yield and quality of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) hybrid Suvasini under North Gujarat condition” was carried out during April 2022-2023 at College of Horticulture, SDAU, Jagudan (Gujarat). The two factors of experiment was laid out with Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. Factor A comprises of three size of bulb, i.e. small (1.25-1.75 cm), medium (3.00-3.50 cm) and large (4.00-4.50 cm) and Factor B includes the application of soaking treatments, i.e. control (water soaking), Thiourea @ 500 ppm, Paclobutrazol @ 10 ppm, GA₃ @ 200 ppm, NPK Consortium @ 10 ppm and Novel @ 5 ppm. It was observed that large bulb size with the treatment of GA₃ resulted in vigorous growth, maximum yield and greater quality as compared to other treatments.
