Abstract
The experiment was conducted at Nagpur, with 4 tiers of potassium:
Manipulate (0 kg), 150 kg, 200 kg, and 250 kg ha–1, and 3 ranges of
planting depth: 5, 7.5, and 10 cm with twelve treatment combinations. The
levels of planting depth and potassium were randomized in a factorial
randomized block layout. The objectives of the experiment of the test had been
to evaluate the consequences of each potassium and planting depth as well as to
decide the top of the line mixture of each variables for better tuberose yield
and quality. Significantly maximum number of spikes plant -1 (2.16
& 1.86), spikes plot-1(68.98 & 61.91), spikes ha-1(2.39
& 2.23 lakhs), florets spike -1 (26.22 & 25.66), bulbs plant-1(6.08 & 5.48), bulbs plot-1 (194.67
& 175.36), bulbs ha-1(1.99 & 1.80 lakhs), bulblets plant-1
(31.67 & 24.91), bulblets plot-1 (1013.33 & 797.33),
bulblets ha-1 (35.18 & 27.68 lakhs) and also highest length
of spike (77.28 & 74.09 cm), diameter of spike (0.99 & 0.98 cm), length
of floret (4.89 & 5.35 cm), diameter of floret (3.91 & 3.84 cm), length
of rachis (20.36 & 20.33 cm), diameter of bulb (4.85 & 4.38 cm) and
vase life of flower (9.07 & 9.05 days) recorded via applying
of potassium 200 kg ha-1 and planting the bulbs at a depth of 7.5 cm
respectively. It was discovered that there has been no significant interaction
between planting depth and potassium's effects on yield and quality.
