A field experiment was conducted to study the response of nitrogen and GA3 on growth and flowering behavior of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) cv. Pusa Narangi Gainda at the Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture C. C. S. University Campus, Meerut (U.P.) in 2015. There were applied a total number of nine treatments and layout arranged in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Result indicated that soil application of nitrogen@100kg/ha with foliar application of GA3 @ 200ppm at 20 and 50 days after transplanting were found to be statistically significant and most beneficial in relation to plant height, primary branch, secondary branch, spread of plant, diameter in stem, flower diameter, number of flower per plant, fresh weight of flower per plant and yield of flower as compared to control and other treatments.

The present investigation entitled “Effect of Integrated nutrient management (INM) on Plant growth, Flower yield and shelf life of African Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) c.v. Pusa basanti” , was under taken at department of horticulture, during the year 2013-14. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 13 treatments replicated thrice. The treatments comprised of FYM, vermicompost, poultry manure and bio- fertilizer (Azotobacter) with 25% RDF, 50% RDF and 75% RDF in different combinations including control (RDF). The results revealed that application of 75% RDF + 25% vermicompost (T2) produced significantly maximum plant height (76.77 cm), number of primary and secondary branches per plant (19.40, 33.47 respectively), number of leaves per plant (209.6), earliest in days to first flower bud initiation (50.07), days to first flowering (58.07) and days to 50% per cent flowering (62.87), Also number of flowers per plant (44.07), flower diameter (6.96 cm), flowering duration (54 days), average flower weight (8.52 g), flower yield per plant (375.42 g) and flower yield per plot (3.51 kg), flower yield per hectare (16.65 t) as compared to control and with application of 50% RDF + 50% vermicompost (T6) showed maximum shelf life (6.70 days) of flowers at room temperature. Economic point of view treatment T2 was found to be most economically viable in terms of gross return, net return and benefit cost ratio (2.52:1).

African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) is one of the important commercial flower crop grown exclusively for their vibrant blooms. An experiment entitled “Effect of organic manures with foliar application of fish amino acid on growth and yield of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) was carried out in the department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar during (2018–2020). The twelve treatments includes organic inputs such as farmyard manure (25 t ha-1), vermicompost (5t ha-1), oilcake (2 t ha-1) along with foliar application of two levels of fish amino acid @ 2% and 4 % . The treatments were studied under randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Among the twelve treatments, the performance of plants treated with (FYM @ 25t ha-1+ Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 + FAA @ 4%) resulted in superior plant height (63.42 cm), plant spread (54.31cm), number of primary branches (13.68), secondary branches (24.17) , number of leaves (154.86 ), dry matter production (118.23 g plant-1). Hence it is concluded that combined application of organic manures and fish amino acid had a good synergetic effect on vegetative growth of African marigold.

An experiment was carried out to study the effect of pinching on flower yield of African marigold cv.Pusa Narangi Gainda at ICAR-CIARI, Port Blair during 2012 and 2013. The experiment consisted of three treatments T1 (Control) –no pinching, T2- Single pinching 20 days after transplanting and T3-double pinching 15 days after single pinching. The results showed that maximum plant spread (47.2 cm), number of branches (13.7), duration of flowering (36.7 days), number of flowers per plant (56.6), size of flower (6.18 cm), weight of single flower (7.08g), flower yield per plant (347.8 g) and seed yield per plant (20.23g) were observed in the double pinching treatment. The flower yield was maximum in double pinching with three times more yield than the control.

Marigold is one of the commercially exploited flowering crops that belongs to the family Asteraceae. The production of economical yield and better quality of marigold flowers requires proper crop management techniques. Crop regulation is an important technique to make the marigold production profitable. This can be done by adopting application of plant growth regulators (PGRs). The present study was designed to investigate the effect of PGRs on flowering and antioxidant activity of two cultivars of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) viz. “Pusa Narangi Gainda” (hereinafter referred to as Narangi) and “Pusa Basanthi Gainda” (hereafter referred to as Basanthi). Plants were sprayed with abscisic acid (ABA), N-acetyl thiazolidine (NAD), gibberellic acid (GA3), salicylic acid (SA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and oxalic acid (OA) at the concentrations of 100, 150, 250, 300 and 800 mg·L−1, each. Results revealed that the plants treated with 500–600 mg·L−1 IBA exhibited maximum increase in floral diameter (34–51%). The use of 500–550 mg·L−1 IBA exhibited maximal enhancement in flower fresh weight (21–92%). The exogenously applied OA significantly (p ≤ 0.05) improved flower dry weight, total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents and reducing power ability of marigold plants. Overall, “Narangi” performed better than “Basanthi”, in terms of flowering and antioxidant activity. Conclusively, the results suggest that foliar application of PGRs favors flowering and antioxidant activity of African marigold.
