Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of foliar application of urea and zinc sulphate (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 %) on growth, flowering and flower yield parameters in African marigold (Tagetes erecta Linn.). The results revealed that foliar application of urea @ 1.0 per cent and zinc sulphate @ 0.5 per cent was found to be the most effective to obtain better growth, floral characters and flower yield of African marigold.
