Abstract
The present experiment was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during the session 2022 - 2024. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications, and the study consists of eleven treatment combinations including control. The best treatment was T7 (Amalgerol Essence 3.8 L /ha.) which shows highest values in all the parameters viz., day to germination (10.44), survival % (72.04%), plant height (cm) 90 DAT (77.39 cm), number of branches/plant 90 DAT (10.18), plant spread (53.07 cm), Days of 50 % flowering (56.38), days to first flowering (39.51), days of first harvesting (80.70). Increased growth, flowering might be due to the increased absorption of nutrients when given as foliar application.
