摘要

The present investigation entitled “Effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of African Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) cv. Pusa Narangi Gainda was undertaken at American Spring and Pressing Works PVT. Ltd., Agricultural Researchand Development Foundation, District Thane, Village- Nare (MH), India during the Rabi season of the year 2013-14. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with eight treatments replicated thrice. Studies showed significant effect on plant height (54 cm), no. of branches per plant (6.80), totalno. offloioers per plant (39.40), flower yield per plant (359.68g), flower yield per plot (17.26kg), flower yield per m~2(2.66kg) and hectare (26.64t.) was observed in treatment with 75% RDN + 60kg P_2O_5 + 60 kg K_2O ha~(-1)+ Azotobacter + Enriched banana pseudo stem Sap (T_8) The maximum gross return (532853.4per ha), net return ('451733.4 per ha) and cost benefit ratio (1:5.57) was recorded maximum with same treatment i.e.T_8 (75% RDN + 60kg P_2O_5ha~(-1) + 60 kg K_ha~(-1) + Azotobacter + Enriched banana pseudo stem Sap) under Tansa farm (MH) condition.
