Abstract

The present investigation was laid out in Completely Randomized design (CRD) with 10 treatments and each replicated thrice. The treatment T7 ‘Sucrose 2% + Aluminium sulphate @ 200 ppm reported significantly better performance compared to other treatments, in terms of water uptake (6.79g/stem), flower diameter (6.00 cm), weight of spikes (42.50 g), spike length (11.50 cm), spike diameter (2.33 mm), total solution consumption (36.00 ml), vase life (15 days), gross returns (72 Rs/treatment) and net returns (27 Rs/treatment). The highest B:C ratio (1.80) was also found in the same treatment T7 i.e., Sucrose 2 % + Aluminium sulphate @ 200 ppm and also attained maximum vase life among the treatments.
