 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out at Research Farm of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2016-17 and 2017-18. In the concerned experiment, Randomized Block Design with three replications was used, where four levels of nitrogen, i.e., 0, 10, 15 and 20 g/m2 and three levels of phosphorus viz., 0, 5 and 10 g/m2 were applied. The observations were recorded on Days taken to initiation of sprouting, Days taken to complete sprouting, Plant height (cm), Length of leaves (cm) and Number of leaves per clump. The lowest days taken to initiation of sprouting and days taken to complete sprouting in both the years were observed in treatments where nitrogen at 20 g/m2 and phosphorus at 10 g/m2 respectively was applied. The maximum plant height, Length of leaves and Number of leaves per clump were observed in where nitrogen at 20 g/m2 and phosphorus at 10 g/m2 was applied. Therefore, based on the study for better growth of tuberose plants nitrogen at 20 g/m2 and phosphorus at 10 g/m2 should be applied.
