During 2008-09, a field experiment was conducted to study the effect of inorganic,
organic and biofertilizers on flower yield and flower quality of tuberose.
The results of
the investigation revealed that the flower yield and flower quality of tuberose in terms
of spike length, floret number/spike, rachis length, self life of spike and vase life of
floret were significantly affected by different treatments.
The plants treated with enriched
compost @ 10 t/ha produced the best results in respect of all the above mentioned
parameters followed by plants treated with enriched compost (10 t/ha)+biofertilizer.
The highest benefit : cost ratio (3.38 : 1) was calculated in tuberose treated with enriched
compost @ 10 t/ha.
