investigation was aimed to assess the effect of GA3 and VAM on growth and flowering in tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) cv. Double.

Abstract

An attempt has been made to study the effect of GA3 and VAM on growth and flowering parameters in tuberose c v. Double. The experiment was conducted consisting three levels of GA3 (@ 50 ppm, 100 ppm and 150 ppm), one level of VAM (VAM @ 2 g/m2). There were eight treatment combinations, replicated thrice and laid out in factorial randomized block design. Results revealed that all treatments performed better than control. Among all the treatments G3V1 (GA3 @ 150 ppm + VAM @ 2 g/m2) gave better performance in all growth and flowering parameters studied.
