Description |
The present experiment entitled “Effect of spacing, nitrogen and phosphorus on growth and flowering of heliconia cv. Golden Torch under net house conditions” was carried out for two years during 2007-08 and 2008-09 at Floriculture Research Scheme, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with Factorial concept (FRBD) with three replications and twenty-four treatment combinations, comprising of two levels of spacing (S1=50 x 40 cm and S2=75 x 40 cm), four levels of nitrogen (N0=00, N1=100, N2=200 and N3=300 kg N/ha) and three levels of phosphorus (P0=00, P1=50 and P2=100 kg P2O5/ha). The potassium @ 100 kg/ha and FYM @ 5 kg/m2 were applied as a common dose. 47 The experimental results revealed that, among spacing treatments, planting of heliconia at a spacing of 50 x 40 cm (S1) enhanced growth, yield and quality parameters as compared to those planted at 75 x 40 cm (S2). Whereas, in case of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, application of 300 kg N/ha and 100 kg P2O5/ha, respectively were found to significantly increased the growth, yield and quality parameters as compared to other levels. Among the different interactions, the significant effect of S x N interaction for number of suckers per clump at 9 MAP, number of flowers per clump, flower yield per plot and hectare and suckers per plot was obtained with the treatment combination of S1N3. Similarly, S x P interaction was found significant for number of flowers per plot and hectare and the maximum were recorded under S1P2. Likewise, the significant effect of N x P interaction was also obtained for number of suckers per clump, number of bracts per flower, flower and sucker yield per plot and hectare with better shelf life with the treatment combination of N3P2. Thus, from economical point of view and for better production of heliconia cv. Golden Torch under net house conditions, it should be planted at a closer spacing of 50 x 40 cm and should be fertilized with 300 kg nitrogen and 100 kg phosphorus per hectare. |
