Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the individual and combined application of mulching, nutrients, and plastic tunnel on the growth period and floral characteristics of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) cv. Single. The results of this study showed that the utilization of mulch and low tunnel together significantly enhanced vegetative and floral attributes of tuberose cv. Single. The plants grown under mulch and low tunnel conditions showed earliest bulb sprouting (37.1 days), leaf emergence (39.2 days), spike emergence (47.1 days), and florets emergence (223.9 days). The highest plant height (104.1 cm), and number of florets per spike were also obtained with combined use of low tunnel and plastic mulch. However, the highest numbers of leaves (17.8) were noted under low tunnel conditions and the highest spike length (49.6 cm) with the use of mulching in combination with humic acid. Furthermore, the thickest spike (5.95 mm) was found with foliar application of nutrients on plants grown under plastic mulch. In conclusion, the combined use of low tunnel and plastic mulch is recommended for obtaining early production and rec desirable characteristics in tuberose cv. Single.
