Abstract


The effect of integrated nutrients to improve flower yield and quality of flower crop Anthurium andreanum cv. Meringue was carried out under 75 per cent shade net house condition. The experiment was conducted with six kinds of organic substrates along with inorganic fertilizers. The treatment combination of panchagavya 4 per cent + 50 per cent recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) favourbly influenced the plant height (32 .40 cm), suckers per plant (4.20) and flower yield per plant (5.90). Same treatment had showed the increase in flower quality in terms of spathe length (7.50 cm), spathe breadth (7.00 cm), spike length (32.10 cm). The INM Practice of application of vermicompost 100 g plant-1 + 50 per cent RDF recorded the highest vase life of flower by more number of days for gloss loss (17.50), spathe blueing (18.50) and spadix necrosis (21.60) respectively.
