Abstract
The experiment was carried out to study the effect of organic nutrient management on growth and flowering of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L) cv GMM 3 during summer 2017 at College of Horticulture (SDAU), Jagudan, Gujarat. Nine levels of organic nutrients were tested in the randomized block design with three replications. Treatments were evaluated on the basis of growth and flowering characteristics of muskmelon. Application of organic nutrients significantly affected growth and flowering parameters. Maximum vine length at 30 and 60 DAS, number of branches per plant, leaf area at 45 DAS, days taken to flower initiation, number of male and female flowers per plant, sex ratio and per cent fruit set were recorded with treatment 50 per cent N from FYM + 50 per cent N from poultry manure + biofertilizer [Azospirillium + phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) + KSM] + Trichoderma viride + neem oil.
