Author(s): Sanjay Mishra and Saket Mishra
Abstract: Two years data has been recorded and observed that maximum plant height (43.60 & 46.40 cm 180 DAP), number of leaves (15.67 & 19.67 cm DAP), minimum days taken to first flower bud initiation (153.33 & 144.33), flower bud diameter (1.93 & 2.33 cm), flower stalk length (42.93 & 45.13 cm), flower diameter (3.67 & 4.73 cm), flower durability (5.87 & 7.07 days), average weight of flower (8.27 & 9.87 g), number of flowers/ plant (4.00 & 4.00), number of flowers / plot (72 & 72 respectively), number of flowers/ hectare (1.80 & 1.80 lakhs), number of bulb lets/plant (6.73 & 7.00), number of bulb lets / hectare (3.03 & 3.15 lakhs) were recorded with treatment T3 (GA3 250 ppm) where as lowest readings were recorded under Control (T0). In terms of shelf life of flower the longest shelf life (34.80 & 35.93 hours) and lowest physiological loss in weight (27.00 & 24.80 per cent) was recorded in treatment T4 (Benzyl adenine 200 ppm) followed by treatment T5 (Benzyl adenine 100 ppm + Silver nitrate 100 ppm) and lowest was recorded in T7 control (water).
