Abstract
An experiment was conducted from September 2019 to March 2020 to examine the effect of different combination of foliar applicable fertilizers on Hybrid tea rose cultivar Mohana. The study was performed with 9 treatments (T1-RDF, T2- KNO3 2.5g/l, T3- KNO3 5.0g/l, T4- Soluble fertilizer (Sujala) 1g/l, T5- Soluble fertilizer (Sujala) 2 g/l, T6- KNO3 1g/L+ Soluble fertilizer (Sujala) 1g/l, T7- KNO3 1 g/l + Soluble fertilizer (Sujala) 1.5g/l, T8- KNO3 1g/L + Soluble fertilizer (Sujala) 2g/l, T9- KNO3 1g/l+ Soluble fertilizer (Sujala) 2.5g/l) and 3 replications. From this study T8 (KNO3 1g/L + Soluble fertilizer (Sujala) 2g/l) gave best in case of vegetative and flower quality parameters and minimum days from FBE to cup shape and flower. While in case of cup shape to full bloom minimum days was taken in T1(RDF).
