Abstract: An experiment was conducted to find the optimum dosage of fertigation for marigold cv. Pusa Narangi Gainda. A field experiment was carried out at Floricultural Research Station, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, during the year 2016 -17. The bio chemical status of soil before and after harvesting of crop was found non-significant due to fertigation treatments in marigold. At first flower bud appearance stage leaf NPK status differed significantly with levels of fertigation. The highest NPK content in leaf was recorded in 75 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) using water soluble fertilizers (WSF). Higher available nitrogen content (3.82%), phosphorus content (0.26 %) and potassium content (1.37 %) in leaf were recorded in 75 per cent of RDF using WSF. Further, the flower yield per hectare (14.42 t) was maximum with the same treatment in marigold cultivated under open conditions.
