Abstract
Present study was done at the Horticulture Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India during 2023-2024. This experiment was laid in Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. Treatments comprised of various FeSO4 concentrations such as control (distilled water), FeSO4 0.1%, FeSO4 0.2%, FeSO4 0.3%, FeSO4 0.4%, FeSO4 0.5%, FeSO4 0.6%, FeSO4 0.7%, FeSO4 0.8%, FeSO4 0.9% and FeSO4 1.0%. At 3rd and 6th leaf stage foliar application of iron was done. Growth parameters which exhibited the best result were found with the application of 0.3% FeSO4 for plant height (58.30 cm), 0.4% FeSO4 in case of no. of plants/hill (3.83), no. of leaves/hill (20.37), leaf width (3.07 cm) and scape width (2.86 cm) whereas, 0.6% FeSO4 showed best result for leaf length (56.98 cm). Flowering parameters showed the best results at 0.4% FeSO4 for no. of florets/spike (13.34), days to colour show (79.2), no. of opened florets at a time (4.17), spike length (68.24 cm), rachis length (44.18 cm), internodal length (4.87), flowering duration of 1st (5.62 days) 3rd (5.50 days), 5th (5.44 days) and last florets (5.60 days), total flowering duration (16.85 days) and 0.6% FeSO4 for length of 1st floret (10.06 cm), 3rd floret (9.70 cm) and 5th florets (9.60 cm) respectively. Similarly, corm parameters such as no. of corms/hill exhibited best result at 0.6% FeSO4 but weight of corms/hill and diameter of corm was found to be performing best at 0.4% FeSO4.
