Abstract :

A field experiment was Conducted at Muzaffarnagar farm U.P. during two winter season 2009–10 and 2010– 2011 to investigate the effect of different levels of Potash, Nitrogen and spacing on average size and weight of irrigated African marigold Tagetes Erecta Lnn. It was observed that that increasing level of nitrogen significantly enhanced the size of flower heads over control. The effect of potash was also found to be significant on the size of flower head in both the years of experimentation. Although, the wider spacing gave the larger average size of flower head, yet the effect of plant spacing on flower size was not significant. There was a significant increase in the weight of flowers per plant by the nitrogen application. Similarly, all the potash doses showed significant effect on weight of flowers.
