Effect of integrated nutrient management on flowering and yield attributing traits of marigold (<em>Tagetes erecta</em> L.) under agro-climatic conditions of Ajmer zone

The current study was steered at Bhagwant University Ajmer, Rajasthan during the Rabi season of years 2019-20 and 2020-21 to find out combined application different organic inorganic sources nutrients on flowering behaviour yield attributing traits Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) under Agro-climatic conditions Ajmer Zone. Total ten treatments were used in Randomized Block Design (RBD) replicated three times. namely T1- Control, T2- 100% RDF (N:P: K @ 120:80:60 kg/ha), T3-100% + 25% VC, T4- FYM, T5- 75% FYM Biofertilizers, T6- VC T7- T8- 50% T9- Biofertilizers T10- Biofertilizers. 30 treatment combinations formulated present experiment. During experimentation, observations recorded various parameters like days taken first bud initiation, for opening flower bud, flowering, stalk length, diameter flower, number flowers per plant, fresh weight plot, (q/ha) B:C ratio applied treatments. However, maximum found as compared
