Effect of Organic Manures and Biofertilizers on Growth Characters of Lilium Growing Under Different Cultivation Practices

The present experiment on the effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on growth characters of Lilium growing under different cultivation practices was carried out during 2021-22 and 2022-23 at Agri-tourism Centre, CCS HAU, Hisar (Haryana). The experiment consists of nine treatments, which were replicated three times in a Randomised Blocks Design (RBD). The results of investigation revealed that the treatment applied with FYM @ 5.0 t/ha + VC @ 2.5 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB (T9) recorded days taken to bulb sprouting (5.41 & 5.68 days), plant height (102.54 & 105.31 cm), number of leaves per plant (70.86 & 72.91), leaf length (9.25 & 9.70 cm), leaf width (2.59 & 2.75 cm). The results show that organic manure could increase vegetative growth in combination with biofertilizers.
