 ABSTRACT

Studies on efficacy of biostimulants on growth and physiology of chrysanthemum under protected cultivation were carried out at department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Horticulture, Mudigere during 2015-16. 12 biostimulants in 2 combinations were taken for the study and RDF was taken as control. The results revealed that among the biostimulant treatments, the treatment receiving Biovita (Brown sea weed extract) @ 0.5 per cent showed maximum plant height, stem girth, leaf area, leaf area index, leaf area duration, Relative growth rate, Crop growth rate, Net Assimilation rate compared to all other treatments and control (RDF).

Key words: Biostimulant, Chrysanthemum, Biovita, Sea weed extract
