EARLINESS IN TUBEROSE FLOWER

📖 The objective of this study was to create the earliness, enhance quality production of tuberose. Main parameters studied were sprouting date sprouting percentage, days to leave emergence, number of leaves per plant, leaf area (cm), days to spike emergence, plant height (cm),plant height at the time of tunnel removal (cm), florets emergence date (days), number of florets per spike, length of spike (cm),thickness of spike (mm),floret diameter (mm), color of florets, fragrance of florets,.The results showed that T3 (Mulch+Low tunnel) was best in case of sprouting date (37.037 days), sprouting percentage (100 %), days to leave emergence (36.125 days), days to spike emergence (47.1625 days), plant height at the time of tunnel (37.5925 cm), florets emergence date (223.9 days), color of florets(9.75), fragrance of florets (9.75) and earliness( 41.15 days).T1(Mulch) was best in case of number of leaves per plant (17.48) and leaf area (41.15 cm). T6 (Micronutrients) was best in case of number of florets per spike (39.809), thickness of spike (5.879 mm) and floret diameter (38.875 mm). T8 (Mulch + Humic acid) was leading treatment in case of spike length (49.55 cm).
