 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out at orchidorium, Regional Horticultural Research and Extension Centre, University of Horticultural Sciences campus, GKVK, Bengaluru during September 2015 to June 2017. The results indicated a significant influence of the treatments on different flower quality and yield parameters. Treatment 2:6:2 (T9) NPK ratio produced longer spike length ( 56.31 cm), rachis length ( 42.65 cm), number of florets per spike (10.87), diameter of floret (9.42 cm), spike weight (34.75 g) and spike girth (4.04 mm) and it was on par with treatments 2:6:1 (T8) NPK ratio and 3:6:2 (T13) NPK ratio and lowest was observed in control (T1). Highest number of spike per plant (3.07) was recorded in T9- 2:6:2 and it was on par with treatment T8 - (2:6:1) (2.87).However, it was registered lowest spike per plant was noticed in control (T1).

Key words: Foliar nutrient, Dendrobium.
