African Marigold

Tagetes is a genus of annual, perennial or herbaceous plant in the family Asteraceae. Most of the species have pinnate green leaves. Blooms are naturally occurring in golden, orangeyellow, and white colour, often with maroon highlights. Floral heads are 4 to 6 cm in diameter, generally with both ray florets and disc florets. The present study was conducted at the post graduate research laboratory at Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University to find out the “Effect of plant growth regulators on flowering and yield of African marigold (Tagetes erecta Linn)”. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. There were ten treatments, viz., GA3 100 ppm, GA3 200 ppm and GA3 300 ppm, NAA 100 ppm, NAA 200 ppm, NAA 300 ppm, Ethrel 50 ppm, Ethrel 100 ppm, and Ethrel 150 ppm and control. Among the growth regulators tried, GA3 200 ppm as foliar application on 30 and 60 days after transplanting registered the highest values for plant characters like plant height (47.1 cm), number of branches ( 35.1), days taken to first flower bud appearance (39.3 days), days taken to flower opening (37.6 days), longevity of flower (11.17 days), stalk length (12.1 cm), diameter of flower (7.8 cm), number of flowers per plant (40.3), weight of the single flower (9.1 g), yield of flowers per plant (337 g) and flower yield per plot (11.1 kg). From the present study, it is recommended that spraying of GA3 200 ppm on 30 and 60 days after transplanting improved yield and quality of African marigold flowers.

Monetary Return

The commercial importance of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) has attracted Agronomist to increase its seed yield using various agronomical and breeding approaches. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) have a significant role in enhancing yield and its related traits in linseed. Hence, to find out effect of different growth regulators on growth, yield attributes, yield and economics of linseed, the present experiment was conducted under AICRP on Linseed, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. Growth regulator shows significant effect on growth, yield attributes and yield of linseed. Plant height and number of capsules per plant was observed highest and significantly superior after application of 400 ppm Gibberellic acid (GA) and application of 0.1 % Tebuconazole which was at par with T7 i.e. 1.0 ppm Auxin + 200 ppm GA and T5 i.e. 75 ppm salicylic acid. Number of branches and number of capsules per plant were also observed at par in the treatment T3 i.e. 200 ppm GA. The seed yield of linseed was recorded significantly higher in T4 i.e. 400 ppm GA which was at par with T7 i.e. 1.0 ppm Auxin + 200 ppm GA and treatment T3 i.e. 200 ppm GA and treatment T5 i.e. 75 ppm salicylic acid. The gross monetary return was found maximum in the treatment T4 i.e. 400 ppm GA, this might be due the maximum seed yield after application of 400 ppm GA, but net monetary return and B:C ratio resulted minimum due to the high market cost of GA (Rs. 9000/- for 400 ppm). Net monetary return and B:C ratio was found maximum in treatment T5 i.e. 75 ppm salicylic acid, this might be due to the low cost of Salicylic acid.
