Abstract:
A plot experiment was carried to study the standardization of fertigation levels along with foliar spray of micronutrients on Jasminum sambac cv. Mysuru Mallige. There were 9 treatment combinations consisting of different recommended dose of fertilizers (60:120:120 NPK g/plant/year) along with the foliar spray of micronutrients (humic acid at 0.5%, chelated zinc and borax at 0.75g each per plant) were evaluated in RCBD design and replicated 3 times. The result of the study indicated that application of 100 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer (60:120:120 NPK g/plant/year) along with foliar spray of micronutrients (humic acid at 0.5%, chelated zinc and borax at 0.75g each per plant) significantly affected the vegetative parameters like plant height, plant spread, number of branches, flowering character like early flower bud initiation, flower initiation, 50 per cent flowering, duration of flowering and flower yield per.
