“…This might be due to sufficient nutrients available for widely spaced plants to produce vigorous plant growth with maximum number of stems. A similar result was reported by Singh and Kumar (2009).…”

“…This might be due to availability of more area per plant for absorption of nutrients and moisture, no shading effect which ultimately increased the rate of net photosynthesis and translocation of assimilates to the storage organs, which promotes more flowers in plant compared to less space per plant. A similar result was found in Singh and Kumar (2009).…”

A field experiment was accomplished at the Horticulture farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University to study the effect of different plant spacing on the growth and flowering of Lisianthus (variety-SAU Blue Nandini). Plant Spacings viz. S1= 30 cm x 15 cm (BARI recommended for Gerbera), S2= 30 cm x 20 cm, S3= 30 cm x 25 cm were used in this experiment arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Data on different growth and flower yield attribute parameters were taken in which all the treatments showed significant variations. The results showed that applied spacing significantly affected growth and flowering attributes positively. Tallest plants (75.9 cm), the maximum number of leaves (68.7), leaf length (6.0 cm), highest SPAD value (51.0), highest stem length (58.4 cm) and maximum stem diameter (5.3 mm), highest peduncle length (12.6 cm), maximum stem number per plant (6.5), flower number per plant (42.3) was found from (S3) whereas minimum in (S1). The study showed that higher spacing application would be the potential for commercial Lisianthus production among all these.

“…The weather conditions in most parts of our country are relatively favourable for stevia farming. It is mainly grown in northern part of the country like states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and in some parts of Karnataka [3]. However, the cultivation of this remarkable herb is not without challenges.…”

Stevia rebaudiana, a herbaceous perennial prized for its natural sweetness, has gained global acclaim and found in various parts of India including Karnataka. An exploration into leaf spot disease (caused by Alternaria alternata (FR.) Keissler) in Stevia was conducted under the conditions of southern Karnataka to identify effective management strategies. The symptoms initially manifested as petite circular spots of a light brown colour, subsequently evolving into irregular shapes ranging from dark brown to grey. Some spots maintained their circular form, exhibiting concentric rings or zones. Severely affected leaves exhibited the merging of numerous spots, forming expansive necrotic areas. On older leaves, concentric spots were predominantly found at the tips. The diameter of the leaf spots ranged from 2 to 18 mm. The conidial dimensions varied from 10 to 40 × 6-12 mm, displaying a mid to dark brown or olive-brown color. They were short-beaked, arranged in long chains, and had an oval and bean-shaped structure with 3–5 transverse septa. Considering the adverse effects of chemical fungicides, the exploration for a safer alternative to control the pathogen became a preferable option. This led to experiments involving the use of bioagents for pathogen control. The six known bioagents were evaluated by dual culture, pathogen at periphery and pathogen at the center technique to monitor antagonistic effect. The results revealed that out of all the six bioagents used, two bioagents namely Trichoderma viride (74.77%, 69.04% and 79.45%) and T. harzianum (71.25%, 59.96% and 74.78%) showed maximum growth inhibition in dual culture, pathogen at periphery and pathogen at the center methods, respectively. among the botanicals used neem (36.63%) and ginger (36.42%) found to be effective in inhibiting mycelial growth. Unraveled the strong antagonistic effect to inhibit the mycelia growth of the pathogen significantly.

“…However, in many studies, the foliar application of Zn has shown 6 to 20 times more beneficial than the basal application, and foliar Zn has proved to be an efficient and economic method to significantly increase crop growth and yield. Foliar ZnSO 4 improved length and width of leaf, weight and diameter of corm in gladiolus (Hembrom et al, 2015), length of rachis and duration of flowering in gladiolus (Singh et al, 2015), plant and flower attributes in marigold (Shah et al, 2016), bud initiation, bud diameter and flower weight in African marigold (Singh et al, 2018).…”

Celosia argentea var. cristata is an edible plant mainly cultivated as an ornament for its spectacular flowering and is highly appreciated by horticulturists for its originality, unique appearance of flower and better vase life. Utilisation of plant growth regulator [salicylic acid (SA)] and mineral nutrition [zinc (Zn)] is a sustainable approach to ameliorate crop health and yield. A field experiment was performed on a randomised complete block design with 12 treatments in 36 blocks to investigate the effectiveness of the combined application of SA (50 ppm and 100 ppm) and Zn (ZnSO4: 0.5 ppm, 1.5 ppm and 2.5 ppm) as well as when each one is applied separately on vegetative, reproductive, physiochemical attributes in C. argentea var. cristata. Results analysed through Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD) test, biplot and heat map indicated a significantly greater improvement up to 2.5 folds in the growth attributes when plants received foliar application of 100 ppm of SA combined with 2.5 ppm of Zn as compared to control group. All treatments modified the physiobiochemical responses of plants by lowering catalase (CAT) activity significantly, and enhancing photosynthetic pigments, total protein content and peroxidase (POX) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities as compared to the control group. It was concluded that foliar application of SA (100 ppm) + Zn (2.5 ppm) at pre-flowering stage could be applied to obtain better growth and flower quality in cockscomb.
