Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken at Department of Horticulture, Mansarovar Global University Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, during the year 2022.The experiment was laid out in R.B.D. with three replications and 13 treatments separately. The metrics of floral yield, such as number of flowers, flower diameter, and fresh and dried flower weight, as well as vegetative growth parameters, such as plant height, number of branches, and plant spread, were all increased by fertilizer most effectively flower production, length of blooming, shelf life were all at their highest. Thus, the African marigold exhibited good vegetative growth and flower output properties as a result of the usage of organic manures.
