Effect of planting dates on growth, flowering and seed production of snapdragon

Effect of Seed Priming on Germination, Plant Growth and Flowering of Cockscomb (Celosia spp.) Under Prayagraj Agro Climatic Conditions

“…Mushtaq et al [25] reported from the experiments on Gladiolus alatus that higher days to flower bud initiation might have been possible due to more vigor and from the biochemical activities that were started helping in the early branches and bud formation by the plant as a result of better photosynthetic activities with sufficient availability of nutrients from the seed treatment during the growth stages. The results are in acceptance with Sharma et al [26] and Pahoja et al [21]. Significantly, among all the treatment, the treatment 5 (salicylic acid 0.04%) (31.88) was recorded the maximum days taken to flowering, which is followed by the treatment 8 (salicylic acid 0.06%) (31.66).…”

Influence of molybdenum application on soil nutrient status and uptake by cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) in an Acid Alfisol soil

“…Cauliflower requires a high amount of fertilizers and is very sensitive to Mo deficiency. Most common Mo deficiency symptom 2 in cauliflower is whiptail where leaf-blades are not fully developed and only the midrib is present which appears as a whip (Sharma, 2002). Mo availability to the plants is strongly dependent on the soil reaction (Rutkowska et al, 2017), soil N levels (Elkhatib, 2009), concentration of adsorbing oxides (viz., Fe oxides), organic compounds found in the soil colloids and the extent of water drainage (Rutkowska et al, 2017).…”
