Abstract
The present experiment was carried out during 2017 to 2019. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with Factorial concept (FRBD) consisting two factors and three replications. The treatment comprised with four biostimulants and three micronutrients. The result indicated that foliar application of banana pseudostemsap @ 1% with micronutrient grade-IV @ 1% in addition to recommended dose of fertilizers (200:100:100 kg/ha NPK) produced higher chlorophyll content in leaves and xanthophylls content in flower of African marigold cv. Pusa Narangi Gainda.
