| Abstract/Description: | A pot culture experiment was conducted on gerbera (cv. Goliath) at Hi-Tech Floriculture and Vegetable Project, College of Agriculture, Pune- 5. The experiment was conducted during August, 2013 to February, 2014 to study diagnosis of calcium and manganese deficiency on gerbera grown on cocopeat under polyhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted lying on the basic treatment of excluding the nutrients of interest (calcium and manganese) and the comparison with the complete nutrition in respect of growth and development of gerbera. It revealed that the deficiency of Ca and Mn certainly cause a setback in chlorophyll content, periodical dry matter and vase life of gerbera. |
| Description: | Considering the aesthetic value of Gerbera(Gerbera jamesonii), it is a beautiful dwarf perennial plant used as a cut flower (ranks 4th among cut flowers demands according to Sujatha, et al., 2002), garden flower and it makes a good showing in exhibitions and floral arrangements because of its numerous colours and interesting shapes. At present, this group comprises 45 species, native to tropical Asia and Africa. Maharashtra is one of the pioneer states for protected flower cultivation, under which 600 ha of land is cultivated for different flower crops under polyhouse condition, out of which more than 100 hectares area is under gerbera cultivation with 1476 lakh flowers per year with productivity of 250 flowers m-2 (Anonymous 2010). Considering the “law of minimum” of Baron Justus Von Liebig, which states that “plants will use essential elements only in proportion to each other, and the element that is in shortest supply in proportion to the rest will determine how well the plant uses the other nutrient elements”, the effect of specific nutrients must be tested for their importance in completing their life cycles..Calcium concentration in plants ranges from 0.2 to 1 %. Calcium is important in maintaining the structure and permeability of cell membranes, essential for cell elongation and cell division and helps in uptake of N, Fe, B, Zn, Cu and Mn. Manganese concentration in plants typically ranges from 20 to 50 ppm. The involvement of Mn in photosynthesis, oxidation reduction processes and in decarboxylation and hydrolysis reactions calls the need of Mn in plants. Therefore, the investigation was carried out to study the effect of Ca and Mn in some physiological properties of Gerbera. |
