ABSTRACT
The present investigation on response of organic manures and bio fertilizers on floral characters in tuberose was conducted at Model Floriculture Centre, Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, during 2010 to 2012. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with four replications. The treatment was comprised of Organic Manures and Bio Fertilizers (Poultry manure, vermicompost, Trichoderma harzianum and Pseudomonas fluoroscens). Maximum (27.35) number of open florets per plant in vase life studies was observed in treatment Trichoderma harzianum (40 g/ m2) whereas, least (22.52) number of open florets per plant in vase life studies was recorded in treatment Trichoderma harzianum (20 g/ m2) in the pooled data over two years.The pooled data for both the years for yield of unopened florets per plant in vase was minimum in treatment Pseudomonas fluoroscens (40 g/ m2) (8.04) and maximum in control (12.40).The pooled value of the vase life showed maximum value in treatment Pseudomonas fluoroscens(40 g/ m2) (13.87 days) while it was minimum in treatment vermicompost (2 kg/ m2) (10.60 days).
Key words: Pseudomonas fluoroscens, Vermicompost, Trichoderma
