Effect of Liquid Jeevamrutha on Growth Yield and Quality of China Aster (Callistephus chinensis [L.] Nees.)

The experiment on “Effect of liquid jeevamrutha on growth yield and quality of China aster (Callistephus chinensis [L.] Nees.)” was carried at Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, K. R. C. College of Horticulture, Arabhavi. Among all the treatments, application of liquid jeevamrutha at 1500 liter per hectare at an interval of 7 days (D3F1) was recorded significantly higher plant height (47.98 cm and 58.78 cm at 60 and 90 DAT, respectively), plant spread (N-S) i.e., 17.90 26.35 and 31.31 cm at 60 and 90 DAT, respectively, plant spread (E-W) i.e., 27.10 and 30.35 cm at 60 and 90 DAT, respectively, number of primary branches (7.45 and 10.28 at 60 and 90 DAT, respectively), number of flowers per plant (38.42), flower yield (111.39 g/plant, 5.41 kg/plot and 8.06 t/ha, respectively), flower diameter (5.76 cm), individual flower weight (3.04 g), shelf life (3.43 days) and vase life (8.79 days) in pooled data.
