Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on growth, quality and flower production of golden rod (Solidago canadensis L.) cv. Local. Using sixteen treatment combinations consisting of four levels of nitrogen (0, 150, 175 and 200 kg N/ha) and four levels of phosphorus (0, 50, 75 and 100 kg P/ha), the experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The results revealed that the application of nitrogen @ 200 kg/ha and phosphorus 100 kg/ha significantly increased growth parameters viz., plant height, plant spread, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant, suckers per plant, fresh weight of panicle, dry weight of panicle, length of panicle, vase life and panicles per plant.
