Effect of Plant Spacing and Nitrogen Levels on Quantity and Quality Characteristics of Asiatic Lily (Lilium spp.)

A field experiment was carried out as a Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications at UHSB, COH, Mudigere. Different plant spacing (30x15 cm, 30x30 cm, 40x15 cm) was the first factor and the second factor was the different levels of nitrogen (0, 100, 150 and 200 Kg/ha). The spacing between plants of 30x15 cm and 200 kg per ha of N had a significant effect on quantity and quality characteristics of Asiatic lily. Data showed that the plant spacing of 30x15 cm with nitrogen application of 200 Kg per ha obtained the maximum qualitative and quantitative characteristics of flowers
