Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to study the influence of different organic manures and their levels on growth and yield parameters of rose at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Center of Excellence for Organic Farming, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2020-21. This experiment consisted of three organic manures viz., farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost and poultry manure with four levels of organic manures viz., control (0 kg/m²), 4 kg/m², 5 kg/m² and 6 kg/m². It was laid out in split plot design with twelve treatments and three replications. Results revealed that the maximum values in terms of plant height (98.70 cm), plant spread (66.50 cm), number of branches per plant (6.20), stem diameter (2.44 cm), number of leaves per branch (81.19), flower yield per m² (0.86 kg) and flower yield per hectare (86.39 q) were recorded with 5 kg/m² level of vermicompost. Hence, it may be concluded that the application of 5 kg/m² vermicompost was found to have a pronounced effect on maximizing growth and yield parameters of rose.
