Flowering in marigold

Marigold (Tagetes erecta L) accounts for over half of the world’s loose flower production, and marigold crop residue (MCR) are abundantly available and should be used as a forage. In this study, MCR from the last commercial flower pickings was ensilaged with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and the shift in their volatile organic compounds (VOCs) profiles was monitored.

Production of marigold can be improved to a large extent by the judicious cultural operations i.e. application of optimum fertilizer at required time, crop management practices and use of plant growth regulators. Hence, an experiment was carried out in the Research Farm of Adhiparasakthi Horticultural College, Kalavai, during 2018-19 to find out the effect of plant growth regulators (NAA, GA3) and growth retardants (Maleic hydrazide, Alar) on growth and yield of African marigold var. Pusa Narangi Gainda.

One of the commercially exploited flower crops belonging to the asteraceae family is Marigold. In many states, the commercial extraction of marigold carotenoids is currently becoming popular in our country. Proper crop management techniques are needed to produce cost-effective yields and improve the quality of marigold flowers. Number of harvestings manifest that the harvestings were not far from each other. The average number of harvestings resulted as non-significant.

The present study was carried out in pre dominantly vegetable and fruit growing areas namely Sirsa and Fatehabad districts of Haryana with the objective to assess suitability of developed vegetable picking bag for diversified activities on various parameters. Developed bag was found suitable and thus recommended for diversified activities i.e. vegetables (brinjal, okra, guar, chilli), fruits (Kinnow, guava) and flowers (marigold) picking.

Storage of flowers is essential for economic marketing. A laboratory trial was conducted to study the shelf life of marigold under West Bengal condition. Flowers of Bidhan 1, Bidhan 2 and Bidhan 3 were stored with four packaging materials like gunny bags, nylon mesh bags, bamboo baskets and plastic baskets, during early winter, mid winter and late winter season. The study revealed that shelf life of loose marigold flowers stored during mid winter season (18-20 º C and 60 to 75% RH) in plastic baskets could be extended for 12 days in Bidhan 3, with acceptable marketable quality.

Agricultural and horticultural applications of sewage sludge are becoming popular as a means of nutrient recycling in many areas of the world (Jacobs, 1981). Guidelines on application of sewage sludge should take account of many factors, such as sludge type, time and method of application (Shepherd, 1996).

A field trail was conducted to study the effect of different levels of growth promoters and retardants on growth and flower yield of different cultivars of African marigold. Two PGR’s namely Gibberellins (GA3) and Cycocel (CCC) were taken as growth promoter and growth retardant, respectively. Two cultivars namely Pusa Narangi Gainda and Pusa Basanti Gainda were taken to evaluate their suitability in Chhattisgarh. The result indicated that the growth and flower yield were significantly influenced by different plant growth regulators and cultivars.

Marigold (Tagetes sp.) is one of the commercially exploited flower crops of both tropics and subtropics. The field trial was measured for twelve marigold genotypes in new alluvial zone at Horticulture Research station, Mondouri, B.C.K.V., Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal during Rabi season of 2017-18 to 2018-19.

The chemical fertilisers when applied to soil more than the recommended, it not only affects the yield of flowers but also affects on deterioration of soil health. As an alternative to this, the low cost bio-fertilisers are one of the solutions which will help the farmers to reduce the cost of cultivation. This need to experimented. In view of this, the study was conducted to find out the influence of Vermicompost in combination with Microbial Consortium on reproductive parameters of Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora L.) cv. Marigold.

The performance and water use efficiency (WUE) of Chrysanthemum var. Marigold was evaluated under two moisture regimes, i.e., 100 % FC and 70 % FC imposed and maintained using gravimetric method. At 100 % FC, the plant height (30.33 cm), average plant spread (38.21 cm), number of primary branches/plant (5.67) and secondary branches/plant (4.67), number of leaves/plant (71.67), number of flowers/plant (136.75), average weight of individual flowers (7.21g), RWC (94.29%), root: shoot ratio (0.42), total fresh bio mass (153.09 g), flower yield (881.67 g / plant) and shelf life of 7.

Floriculture has blossomed into commercial activity with a considerable growth and a useful crop diversification option, particularly for small farmers over the past three decades. India has now emerged as second largest grower of flowers after china. In Jammu and Kashmir the practice of flower cultivation at commercial scale by individual growers is at its infancy stage in the state; however commercial cultivation is gradually increasing with boost from the state government.

Chrysanthemum is a second most important flower crop globally. Marigold is a introduced cultivar gaining popularity among farmers and consumers of southern part of India due to its colour and high shelf life. Due to its commercial importance as quality planting material and cut flowers it is difficult to mitigate the gradually increasing demand by only vegetative means of propagation which is time consuming with low multiplication rate. Plant tissue culture is a better alternative tool to overcome conventional limitations.
