Abstract

In the present study, a field experiment was conducted to study the Effect of different mulches on flowering characters of marigold. A field experiment was performed in sindh agriculture university tando jam, sindh, Pakistan, during the period from October 2021 to march 2022 to quantify the effect of different mulches on flowering characters of marigold flowers. The experiment turned into specified in randomized block layout and five different mulching treatments viz; control (no mulch), black polyethylene mulch, dry grass, paddy straw, and banana leaves. Plants Height, The longest plant (36.1 cm) were obtained from the T2 (black polythene mulch) respectively. However, the shortest plant (23.20 cm,) was recorded from the T1 (control). Number of Leaves per Plants, The greatest number of leaves per plant was recorded from T2 (52.80) (black polythene mulch) while the minimum number of leaves from the T1 (35.11). Numbers of the Branches/Plant, The greatest number of the branches per plant of marigold (34.88) was obtained from T2 (black polythene mulch). The minimum number of branches per plant of marigold (22.55) was observed from T1 (control). The notably early initiation of flowering (35.00) become located in remedy T2 (black polythene mulch). The delayed initiation of flower bud (49.10) turned into discovered in treatment T1 (manipulate). Notably maximum range of days (50.13) turned into required for initiation of flowering in T1 (manage). The earliness in days to flower initiation beneath black polythene mulching may be because of better boom of flora, as end result of excessive soil temperature and excessive soil moisture which helped in profuse and early initiation of bud and flower underneath black polythene mulching. The significantly lowest variety of days required for 70% flowering (47.04 days) and the longest period of flowering (69.50 days) have been additionally taken from treatment T2 (black polythene mulch). Vegetation inside the T2 (black polythene mulch) treatment had the appreciably highest flower diameter (8.00 cm), highest fresh weight (13.50 g/flower) and dry flower weight (3.00 g/flower).
