 ABSTRACT

In Randomized Block Design, the experiment was conducted with 10 treatments consisting of 3 levels each of T1-Control, T2-1% urea spraying, T3-2% urea spraying, T4-3% urea spraying, T5- 0.2% MgSO4, T6 -0.4% MgSO4, T7- 0.6 % MgSO4, T8- 0.2% Boron spraying, T9- 0.4% Boron spraying, T10- 0.6% Boron spraying. replicated three times to evaluate the effect of nutrients on African marigold growth, flowering attribute and yield characters. Among all the treatments, urea (0.2%) resulted in maximum plant height (55.56), plant spread (40.30), number of branches (25.53), initiation of early flower buds (57.16), first flower opening (93.74), minimum  flowering time(36.90), number of flowers per plant(53.63), length of flower stalk (7.60), flower weight (12.74), flower weight per plant (53.63), and flower yield (348.64) per hectare was identified in this experiment , in order to increase soil fertility and crop production in sustainable agriculture.

Keywords: Nutrient, Marigold, Growth and Yield.
