1. WELCOME PRE RESEARCH PLANNING MEETING 2023

2. Project title : Effect nitrogen and phosphorus on seed production of aster Project Area : Main group – Floriculture Sub-group – Seed production

3. Date of start : September, 2014 Date of completion : 2017

5. The flower growers in Vidarbha region are growing aster crop on large scale, therefore, demand for seed of aster is increasing day by day. Due to non-availability of seed in the region, they have to collect it from other regions / states. Therefore, it is necessary to produce good quality aster seed in the region itself. For increasing the production of better quality seed of any crop, proper dose of fertilizers is necessary.

6. As the soil of Vidarbha is rich in potash content, it is necessary to find out proper dose of nitrogen and phosphorus for seed production of aster. Hence, the present trial is proposed to find out the suitable dose of nitrogen and phosphorus required for getting the highest production of better quality seed of aster in the region.

7. Project Objective : To find out suitable combination of nitrogen and phosphorus for commercial seed production of aster in the region

8. Technical programme           : The experiment was initiated during the year 2014-15 at Horticulture Section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur with different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. The technical details are as follows. Design : FRBD Treatments : Factor A: Nitrogen levels N 1 - 150 kg ha -1 N 2 - 187.5 kg ha -1 N 3 - 225 kg ha -1 Factor B: Phosphorus levels P 1 - 50 kg ha -1 P 2 - 62.5 kg ha -1 P 3 - 75 kg ha -1

9. Variety : Phule Ganesh Pink Replications : 03 Spacing 30 X 30 cm Plant population per plot : 30  

10. Observations to be recorded Height of plant (90 DAT) Number of branches per plant (90 DAT) Days to 50 % flowering (days) Number of Flowers per plant Number of seeds per flower Seed yield per plant (g) Seed yield per ha. (kg) Test weight (g) Germination percentage (%)
