Abstract

Farmyard Manure play an important role for healthy growth and flower production of ornamental and seasonal flowers. Hence, FYM with all essential nutrients and good water holding capacity for better growth and flowering of landscape plants need to be evaluated properly. The pots experiment was performed during winter 2022-23 to observe the growth and flowering response of marigold to Farmyard manure. The trail was layout in Completely Randomized Design-Factorial with three replications the trail was layout at The SAU Nursery, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. The plants of about one month old of two marigold varieties (African yellow & African orange) was transplanted in earthen pots farmyard manure in (1:1) was used. Canal Silt and Farmyard Manure used as treatment. The results revealed that the marigold varieties and farmyard manure material had a significant (P<0.05) influence on all of the examined parameters in this study. Most of the marigold's growth and flowering characteristics were observed the canal silt + farmyard manure (1:1) with African yellow variety performed better result in all parameters. producing the highest plant height (21.82cm), flower diameter (5.45 cm), flower weight (9.33g), width of leaves (0.40cm), plant spreading (14.43cm) number of leaves plant-1 (205.66), number of flowers plant-1 (16.83) length of leaves (2.51cm), number of branches plant-1 (20.49) was record in African yellow variety. whereas African Orange variety performed poor result in all parameters. Whereas the canal silt + farmyard manure (1:1) performed good result producing the highest plant height (21.24cm), flower diameter (5.56 cm), flower weight (12.23g), width of leaves (0.38cm), plant spreading (21.19cm) number of leaves plant-1 (240.83), number of flowers plant-1 (23.16) length of leaves (2.66 cm), number of branches plant-1 (25.33) in canal silt performance poor result. Based on findings of the present study it was concluded that the growth and flowering response of marigold was better when it was nourished with canal silt + farmyard manure (1:1). In case on varieties, the performance of African yellow was better in terms of growth-related traits.
