ABSTRACT
Chrysanthemum is one of potent profitable crops. Due to high cost of chemicals as fertilizers and pesticides limiting the cultivation of marginal farmers of these countries. In the present study quarter dose of chemical fertiliser was substituted with biofertilizers and organic manures. Ultimately the treatment combination of biofertilizers, organic manure and inorganic fertilisers (75%N + 75%P + 100%K + VC@1.25t/ha + CC@0.875t/ha + Azo@2kg/ha + PSB@2kg/ha) improved all the growth, flowering and yield parameters with less cost of cultivation of this important flower crop.
Key words :
Azotobacter, Castor cake, Chrysanthemum, Growth & flowering parameters, Phosphate solubilising bacteria, Vermicompost, Yield & quality parameters.
