Abstract

This research was conducted to assess the growth performance of dahlia on various crop residues as potting media. Pot research was conducted by transplanting 20 days old seedlings on different crop residues, including, Silt as control, FYM+Silt (1:3), FYM+Silt (1:3) cockscomb and FYM+Silt (1:3) Maize crop residues as treatment. Completely Randomized Designs (RCBD) was applied to test the significance and compared means of treatments. Data was recorded for different parameters including plant height (cm), total number of leaf, total number of branches, total number of flower, fresh weight(g), dry weight (g), total bulbs, bulb diameter, flower diameter. All the results were statistically significant and the results related with plant growth indices indicated that the maximum values for plant height (39.33cm), total number leaves (53)total flowers (4.66), fresh weight(g) (76.03),dry weight (g) (14.00), bulb diameter (8.33) flower diameter (11.66) were found in slit. The combination of Slit + FYM and crop residues has little effect on all the parameters studies.
