Abstract:
An investigation entitled “Standardization of cost effective nursery techniques in chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora)” was conducted at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore during the year 2020-2021. The experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications and six treatments. The propagating material, terminal cutting were raised in three types of containers viz., cocoplugs, non-woven plug and protray filled with different combinations of media like cocopeat, vermicompost, VAM and Bacillus subtilis. Observations were recorded on survival percentage, vegetative parameters, branching and rooting parameters. Among all the treatments, the treatment T2 shows the best result among the growth characteristics.
