Abstract
The present investigation was carried out during March to July 2016 to find out the effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on vegetative and floral attributes of Kamini China aster. The results of investigation revealed maximum number of primary branches (13.63), plant spread (21.63 cm), number of leaves per plant (162.20), duration of flowering (20.80 days), number of flowers per plant (39.10), number of flowers per m2 (360.30), vase life (9.73 days) and minimum days taken to bud initiation and flowering (58.43 and 74.43, respectively) from the treatment consisting of FYM @18 ton/ ha (50%) + Vermicompost @ 06 ton/ ha (50%)+ PSB @ (50 ml /15L) + Azotobacter @ (30ml/15L) i.e. T16. The quality traits viz., stalk length (34.43 cm), flower diameter (7.73 cm) and average weight of flower (3.38 g) were found maximum from T13 Vermicompost @ 9.6 ton/ ha (80%) + PSB@ (50 ml /15L ) +Azotobacter @ (30ml/15L) followed by T16 (34.23 cm, 7.20 cm and 3.37 g). Thus, it can be concluded from the findings that treatment T16 was most effective in improving quality and quantity traits of cv. Kamini China aster.
