Evaluating micronutrients effects on yield and quality attributes of chrysanthemum (Dendrathemum Grandiflorum Tzeuleu) cv.CO1

The field experiment was conducted in the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, and Tamil Nadu in chrysanthemum (Dendrathemum grandiflorum Tzeuleu) cv.CO 1. The experimental site situated approximately 6 km west of the Bay of Bengal, positioned at 11o 24' North latitude and 79o 41' East longitude, with an altitude of +5.79 meters above mean sea level. The maximum mean temperature range from 29.7ºC to 38.3ºCwith a mean of 32.4ºC, while the minimum temperature range from 21.10ºC to 27.0ºC with a mean value of 25.3ºC. Its receives an annual rainfall of 1500 mm with a relative humidity of 85%. From the results, it can be concluded that soil application of micronutrients mixture @12.5 kg ha-1 in split as basal, 25, 50 and 75 DAT was found to have beneficial effect on yield and quality attributes of chrysanthemum.
