Effect of Pinching and Levels of Gibberellic Acid on Growth, Flowering and Yield of African Marigold (Tagetes erecta l.) / H. P. Pandey in Nepalese Horticulture, v. 10: 1 ([07/25/2015])

Public ISBD [article]  inNepalese Horticulture > v. 10: 1 [07/25/2015] . - 63-70 p. Title : Effect of Pinching and Levels of Gibberellic Acid on Growth, Flowering and Yield of African Marigold (Tagetes erecta l.) Material Type: printed text Authors: H. P. Pandey, Author ; K Mishra, Author ; S. S. Pant, Author ; U. Pun, Author Publication Date: 2015 Article on page: 63-70 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Gibberellic  acid,  pinching,  growth,  flower  yield  and  African  marigold. Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the plant growth and yield of African marigold cv. Calcutta Local through pinching practice and using different level of GA3 in the Abloom Flora Farm of Gunjanagar, Chitwan from March to August, 2013. The experiment was conducted in two factorial randomized complete block design with two pinching levels (pinching and non-pinching practices) and five GA3 levels (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm). Result showed a significant effect of pinching and levels of gibberellic acid on plant growth and flower yield. Pinching also significantly increased the number of branches, plant spread, number of flower per plant, yield per plant (299.33 g) and yield per hectare (12.04 t/ha). Earlier days to flower initiation was observed in non-pinching. Gibberellic acid at 50,100,150 and 200 ppm significantly increased the plant height, number of branches, plant spread and number of flower per plant, flower yield per plant and yield per hectare over control. Earlier days to flower initiation was found with increase in GA3 level. Among all levels, GA3 at 200 ppm was significantly superior due to its maximum flower yield (14.64 t/ha).

Pun, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 99-103 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: This article highlights the current status of floriculture research in Nepal and the role different organization has played. It examines both research and development role of various organizations such as university, research organization and development agencies both from government and non-government sector. The current problems of the industry are mentioned, and a new approach has been proposed to make both research and development of floriculture more effective.
