The experiment on “In influence of ghana jeevamrutha and foliar application of panchagavya for growth, yield and quality of China aster (Callistephus chinensis [L.] Nees.)” Was carried at Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, K. R. C. College of Horticulture, Arabhavi. Among all the treatments, ghana jeevamrutha applied @ 2000 kg/ha and foliar application of panchagavya @ 1 per cent (G₄P₃) was recorded significantly higher plant height (46.88 and 57.37 cm at 60 and 90 DAT, respectively), plant spread N-S (23.30 and 27.35 cm at 60 and 90 DAT, respectively), E-W (25.33 and 28.00 cm at 60 and 90 DAT, respectively) directions and number of primary branches per plant (7.72 and 10.84 at 60 and 90 DAT, respectively), number flowers (34.29/plant), flower yield (106.64 g/plant, 4.91 kg/plot and 7.27 t/ha, respectively) flower diameter (5.49 cm), individual flower weight (3.00 g), shelf life (3.39 days) and vase life (8.22 days) in pooled data.
