Fertigation with 80% recommended water soluble fertilizers + 0.1% B or 0.5% Zn through sprinkler irrigation produced significantly higher vegetative parameters (plant height, number of tillers, leaf area etc.), flowering parameters (days required for flowering and duration of flowering, spike and rachis length, diameter of floret, number of spikelets and spikes and florets) and cumulative flower yield/ha. Therefore, fertigation in tuberose is recommended.
