Biostimulant applications for sustainable flower production of Jasmine (Jasminum auriculatum L.)

One of the major flower crops that is in high demand and has the longest history of trade is jasmine. The commercially grown flower crop is highly valued for its fragrant and appealing blossoms, which are also well-known worldwide for their perfume. This present phase of research has a title “Biostimulant Applications for Sustainable Flower Production of Jasmine (Jasminum auriculatum. L)”. Application of 75% RDF (45: 90:90 g/plant) NPK fertilizer applied commonly. The different organic manures such as farmyard manure, vermicompost, coir compost and bio-fertilizers (Azophos) along with panchagavya, humic acid. Total of ten treatments with various combinations of biostimulants were taken in this experiment which was fitted to RBD and replicated thrice. Out of all the treatments, treatment T5 VC 5 t ha^-1 along with Azophos 2 kg ha^-1 and 1% humic acid foliar spray was found to be the best in the vegetative characters such as plant height (238.4cm) and the number of branches (217). Vermicompost along with biostimulant panchagavya accelerate the efficacy of the plant flowerings like flower bud length (3.0 cm), hundred flower buds weight (9.15 g) and flower yield per plant (3168g).
