Abstract

The present experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different doses of Camel Dung and organic waste compost on plant growth and flower yield in pinched seedling plants of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) cv.Pusa Narangi Gainda.Nine treatments were included, consisting of Camel Dung 1 t/h, Camel Dung 1.5 t/h and Camel Dung 2 t/h along with organic waste compost, such as Bamboo Leaves Compost at rates of 1.5 t/h, 2.0 t/h and 2.5 t/h; Spent Mushroom Compost at rates of 1.5 t/h, 2.0 t/h and 2.5 t/h and Spent Rice Husk Compost at rates of 1.5 t/h, 2.0 t/h and 2.5 t/h, under a randomized block design.The various treatments significantly enhanced plant height, number of branches per plant, leaf area, plant spread, stem diameter, stalk length, diameter of the flower, total number of flowers per plant, weight of flowers, flower yield per plant, flower yield per plot and flower yield and minimum number of days required for the first flower bud emergence.The results revealed that treatment T 3 (Camel Dung 2 t/h + Bamboo leaves Compost @ 2.5t/h) had a significant impact on growth, floral characteristics and yield.It resulted in the maximum plant height (70.94cm), number of branches per plant (24.49), leaf area (1458.64cm 2 ), plant spread (45.17cm), stem diameter (1.88cm), stalk length (8.58cm), diameter of the flower (7.52cm), total number of flowers per plant (46.57), weight of flowers (10.52g), flower yield per plant (489.91g),flower yield per plot (3807.12kg)and flower yield (38.09t/ha) demonstrated the shortest duration for bud initiation at 31.97days.Treatment T 3 (Camel Dung 2 t/h + Bamboo leaves Compost @ 2.5t/h) was identified as the most effective treatment for promoting both vegetative and reproductive growth in pinched seedling plants of African marigold.
