Abstract

An investigation was carried out to study the effect of different fertigation levels such as 100%, 75% and 50% of recommended doses of Fertilizers (RDF) and foliar spray ofbio stimulants, three levels of humic acid (0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%) and panchagavya at 3% in qualitative parameters viz., number of normal flowers per plant, longevity of flowers, percent bent neck and vase life of gerbera var. Debora under polyhouse conditions. The treatment (100% RDF+3%panchagavya + 0.3% humic acid) recorded the highest normalflowers/plant, longevity of flowers on plant, per cent bent neckand vase life.
