Response of Marigold (Tagetes erecta l.) to Different Levels of Nitrogen at Bagh E Naran Park Peshawar
Authored by Shafiullah*
An experiment on
“Response of marigold to different levels of nitrogen” was carried out at the
Horticulture Nursery, The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during 2013.
Seedling of Marigold cultivar “Pygmy” were raised and transplanted on flat beds
on 10th October 2013 at 30 cm Plant to Plant and 60 cm Row to Row. The
seedlings were subjected to four different levels of nitrogen, 70 kg ha-1, 90 kg ha-1 and 110 kg ha-1 along with the control with no nitrogen. Data were
collected on plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, days to
flowering, number of flowers and flower weight. Different level of nitrogen had
significantly affected all the parameters mentioned below except number of
leaves plant-1. Maximum plant height (22.80 cm), maximum number of branches
plant-1 (15.47), maximum number of leaves plant-1(158.67), minimum number of days to flowering (22.33),
maximum number of flowers plant-1(23.22), maximum
flower weight (20.66 gm), were recorded in plants received nitrogen at the rate
of 110 kg ha-1. Hence Marigold should be supplied with nitrogen at the rate
of 110 kg ha-1 in Peshawar valley.
