Influence of Fertigation Levels and Micronutrients Combination on Flowering, Yield and Quality Parameters in Jasmine [Jasminum multiflorum (Burm. f.) Andrews]

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Horticultural Research and Extension Centre, UHS campus, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra post, Bengaluru during 2014–15 to standardize fertigation schedule of Jasminum multiflorum comprising eight treatment combinations with varied levels of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in combination with micronutrients supplied through fertigation. The results indicated that fertigation treatment 60: 120: 120 g NPK per ha in combination with ZnSO₄, CuSO₄, MnSO₄, FeSO₄ and Borax at 0.72 g each per plant (F₃M₁) significantly recorded minimum days taken for bud initiation (42.40), first flowering (44.52), 50 per cent flowering (50.52), maximum flower diameter (42.07 mm), corolla tube length (14.92 mm), flower bud length (3.43 cm), shelf life (46.49 hr), yield per plant (88.32 g), cumulative yield (288.23 g), flower yield per hectare (6.00 t) and BCR (2.04) was highest over other treatments.
