EFFECT OF BULB SIZE AND DEPTH OF PLANTING ON GROWTH, FLOWERING AND YIELD OF TUBEROSE

Abstract

A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Agriculture Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE (MS) HORTICULTURE SEMESTER: JULY-DECEMBER, 2014The study was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from April 2013 to February 2014.The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: Three levels of bulb size: B 1 -Small size, B 2 -Medium size, B -Large size and Factor B: Three levels of depth of planting: D 1 -3cm, D 2 3 -5cm and D -7cm respectively.The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Bulb size and depth of planting showed significant variations on most of the parameters. In case of bulb size highest yield of spike 3 3 and the lowest spike . In case of depth of planting, the highest yield of spike 1 and lowest spike 1 2 . For combined effect highest yield of spike and the lowest spike 1 D . The highest benefit cost ratio ( 3 D 2 1 3 D and lowest . So large size bulb planting in 5cm depth was found best for growth, flowering and yield of tuberose. 2 1 D
