Author(s): Gargi Sharma and ML Verma
Abstract: The flowers are commercially used as cut flowers for interior decorations as well as for flower arrangement and religious offerings. Importance of flowers is not restricted upto the beautification, decoration or preparation of gajara, garland, veni or bouquets but also have the industrial importance too. Thus taking into consideration the different uses of flowers, the demand for floricultural plants is increasing day by day and to meet out the same, a sound and scientific technology, needs to be generated in the form of better fertilization management practices, to be passed on to farming community. In flower crops, growth, yield and nutrient content is significantly affected by application of major nutrients i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. From the reviews it is clear that the positive effect of NPK application on the growth and yield attributes of the flower crops is well established.
