Description The present investigations entitled, “Effect of time of planting and
spacing on growth, flowering and yield of annual chrysanthemum” were
carried out at the experimental orchard, Department of Horticulture,
Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the
year 2004-05. The experiment was laid out in split plot design having six
planting times (mid September to December) and four spacings (30 cm x 30
cm, 30 cm x 45 cm, 45 cm x 45 cm and 45 cm x 60 cm) with three
replications.
The plant growth in terms of plant height, spread and number of
branches per plant was recorded maximum in 15th October planting whereas
minimum in 1st December planting. The number of branches per plant were
found maximum in 15th October planting which was at par with 1st
November planting. The days to bud appearance and first flowering were
recorded minimum in 1st November planting which were at par with 15th
October planting. The minimum days to 50% flowering were taken by 15th
October planting which were at par with 1st November planting. The
maximum duration of flowering and size of flower was observed in 15th
October planting. In case of yield parameters, the number of flowers per
plant, the maximum average weight of flowers, yield per plant and yield per
acre and were observed maximum in 15th October planting which were at par
with 1st November planting whereas minimum in 1st December planting.
The maximum plant height was recorded at the closest spacing of 30
cm x 30 cm which decreased with increase in spacing. The maximum plant
spread and number of branches per plant were recorded at the widest
spacing of 45 cm x 60 cm. The minimum days bud appearance, first flowering
and 50% flowering were recorded in 45 cm x 60 cm spacing. The duration of
flowering and size of flower was also recorded maximum in the spacing of 45
cm x 60 cm. The number of flowers per plant, average weight of flowers and
yield per plant was recorded maximum at the widest spacing of 45 cm x 60
cm whereas minimum in 30 cm x 30 cm spacing. The maximum yield per
acre was recorded at the closest spacing of 30 cm x 30 cm which decreased
with increase in spacing.
