Online Published on 22 June, 2023. Abstract Aim To analyse the effect of organic manures and biofertilizers for growth and flower yieldin tuberose (Polianthes tuberose L.) cv. Prajwal The experiment was perform in pots in completely randomized design (CRD) with 11treatments having four replications to study the response of organic manures, chemicalfertilizers and biofertilizers on growth and flower yield of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) cv. Prajwal. The treatment containing sand + vermicompost (4:1) + Biofertilizers (Azotobacter & Pseudomonas sp.) was significantly superior in terms of plant height (70.50cm), length of leaf(36.98cm), Number of leaf (25.67), spike length (66.58cm), rachis length (27.23cm), diameter ofstem (1.096cm),florets number per spike (35), number of opened florets per spike (33.67), spikesnumber per clump, spike weight (75.33g), bulb number per clump (21), bulb diameter (1.20cm),bulb weight (3.98g). While lowest values of these parameters were observe in control (sand).Minimum days taken to bulb sprouting( 21.75days), days taken to complete bulb sprouting(24.50days), days taken to spike emergence (93days) and days taken to opening of first floret(106.75days) was observed in sand + inorganic manures.
