Abstract

An experiment was carried out at farmer’s field, Chapparamane during 2017-19 to know the efficacy of biostimulants on yield and quality of dendrobium orchid var. Sonia-17. Eight biostimulants in two combinations were taken for the study in comparision with Recommended dose of Fertilizers (30:10:10 at vegetative stage and 10:20:20 at flowering stage) as control. The results revealed that among the biostimulant treatments, the plants receiving Biovita (Brown seaweed extract) @ 1.5 per cent produced maximum number of spikes per plant, spikes per square meter and spike yield per 560 square meter (3.93, 55.67 and 31,170 numbers, respectively) with maximum number of florets per spike (9.74), spike length (45.89 cm) spike girth (4.10 mm), spike weight (30.06 g),  diameter of floret (9.14 cm) and enhanced vase life of 32.75 days compared to all other treatments and control.
