Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Floriculture Research Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during November 2014 to October 2015 to study the effect of different intercropping systems on growth and yield characters in jasmine. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design with two intercropping seasons which consisted of ten treatments replicated thrice. The treatment consisted growing of annual flowers as intercrops viz., African marigold, French marigold and Gaillardia with different ratios. Sole jasmine without any intercrops treated as control. The various growth and yield parameters of jasmine were recorded and statistically analyzed. Consistent increase in plant density showed significant results in all the parameters. Maximum yield was obtained from T7 (sole jasmine) (124.79 g/plant, 1.94 kg/plot and 0.84 t/ha) which was statistically at par with T1 (Jasmine + African marigold 1: 1), T3 (Jasmine + French marigold 1: 1) and T4 (Jasmine + French marigold 1: 2).
