Abstract

The Present study indicates that the flowering contributing character of tuberose cv. double flowering was significantly influence by various nitrogen and sulphur. Among different nitrogen and sulphur combination application of nitrogen @ 240kg/ha and sulphur @ 100kg/ha gave the better effect on flowering parameters i, e, days taken for appearance of initial spike (70.30) Number of days for opening of first floret (106.30) Numbers of florets/spike (37.20), length of floret (6.62), length of spike (88.50), lengths of rachis (22.50) and number of spike/plant (2.30).
