Abstract The experiment conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Dr. YSR Horticultural University, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari with nine treatment combinations and three replications showed no significant difference in days to first flowering, days to 50 per cent flowering and days to first harvest in all the treatment combinations. Whereas, the application of 100 per cent RDF along with liquid formulations of NFB, PSB and KSB showed significant difference in days to final harvest as compared to other treatment combinations. The application of 80 per cent RDF along with liquid formulations of NFB, PSB and KSB recorded in significantly higher number of flowers per plant, number of clusters per plant, yield ha-1 and the benefit-cost ratio. Top Keywords Liquid formulations, Treatment combinations, Flowering attributes, Days to harvest, Benefit-cost ratio. Top |
