Description Chrysanthemum commonly known as Guldaudi or Autumn or Queen of the East is
one of the most important flowers extensively grown for cut flower and loose flower for
garland making, general decoration and hair adornments. There are several agro-techniques
which influences the flower production of chrysanthemum. Application of fertilizers is the
most important which directly influence the growth and yield of flower crops. Therefore, the
present study was aimed to find out the influence of integrated nutrient management (INM)
on growth, yield and quality of chrysanthemum at new orchard, floriculture unit, Department
of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, University of agriculture Sciences, Dharwad, during
Kharif season of 2008-2009. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block
design with three replications and eight treatment combinations.
The treatment composing Azo + PSB + VC equivalent 50% RD?N? + 50% RDF +
50% FYM (T8) recorded the highest plant height, number of branches, plant spread, dry
matter accumulation and yield attributes such as number of flowers per plant and flower
yield. Significantly higher available nutrients (N, P2O5 and K2O) and their uptake by plants
were recorded in this treatment. The same treatment (T8) registered significantly superior
quality parameters such as stalk length, flower diameter, shelf life of garland flowers.
The economics analysis clearly indicated that net returns per hectare and B:C ratio
was the highest in the plots treated with Azo + PSB + VC equivalent 50% RD?N? + 50%
RDF + 50% FYM (T8) (Rs. 328504.00 and 6.04 respectively) and this findings can be used in
making chrysanthemum production more profitable.
