tailieunhanh - Effects of time and level of pruning on the growth and flowering of Jasminum sambac (L.) Cv. Gundumalli

An investigation was carried out during (2014-16.) at the garden of the Department of floriculture and landscaping, College of Agriculture, OUAT, Bhubaneswar to study the Effects Of Different Time And Level Of Pruning On The Growth, Flowering And Yield Of Jasminum Sambac (L.) Aiton with sixteen treatment combinations in Factorial Randomised Block Design with three replications. The treatments comprised four timings of pruning viz., 2nd week of September,2nd week of October,2nd week of November,2nd week of December and four levels of pruning viz.,20,40,60,80cm above ground level . Among the four levels of pruning, 40 cm from the ground level showed the best result with respect to productive shoots/plant() maximum flower yield(). Pruning during 2nd week of November reached the highest primary shoot length ( cm), number of productive shoots/plant () and maximum yield (15 t/ha in Jasminum sambac whereas, lowest yield () was observed in September pruning. In case of interaction effect of different pruning time and pruning level was found non-significant with respect to all vegetative growth and flowering parameters except number of sprouts, yield of flower buds per hector. | Effects of time and level of pruning on the growth and flowering of Jasminum sambac (L.)
