Response of NPK Fertilization on the Growth Performance of Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) cv. Single

A field trial with three levels of each of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash (50, 100 and 200 Kg/ha) by following a randomized block design was carried out at C.C.R. (P.G) College, Muzaffarnagar on tuberose cv. Single. The results revealed that application of higher dose of nitrogen resulted in profuse growth, while the doses of phosphorus and potash could not show significant differences in traits studied. Therefore, a fertilizer dose of 200kg, 100kg and 200 kg/ha of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, respectively may be recommended for profitable cultivation of tuberose.
