Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during 2008–09 to study the effect of inorganic, organic and biofertilizers on growth, yield and yield attributes of tuberose. The results of the experiment revealed that the vegetative growth of tuberose plants in terms of plant height, shoot number, leaf number and leaf area was significantly influenced by different treatments. The highest plant height (102.50 cm), leaf number (51.00), leaf area (146.55 cm2) and number of shoots (9.90) were recorded in tuberose treated with inorganic fertilizers (NPK @ 40: 20: 40 g/m2). While organic fertilizer enriched compost @ 10 t/ha produced maximum spike length (87.60 cm), floret number (42.67), clump weight (305.33 g) and bulb number (39.40) per bulb planted with the highest benefit: cost ratio of 3.38: 1.
