Abstract
An experiment was conducted to assess the differential responses of Boron, Calcium and Zinc on the growth and flowering of Lisianthus during the period from January 2021 to May 2021 at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh. The experiment was conducted with a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with ten replications. Treatments comprising Control, Boron (B), Calcium (Ca), Zinc (Zn), B+Ca, B+Zn, Ca+Zn, B+Ca+Zn were used in the study. Collected data on growth and flower yield attribute parameters showed significant variations. According to the results, the maximum plant height (79.1 cm), stem length (42.7 cm), Peduncle height (12 cm), Stem dia. (6.2 mm), SPAD value (60.9) and 100% rosette free plants were found from the Ca treated plants. The application of Zn also enhanced stem no. (8.9), bud no./plant (28.7), flower dia. (73.5 mm), and weight/stick (11.9 g) of the Lisianthus and decreased the rosetting rate (1.6%) compared to control. From the study, we found that the combination of B+Ca+Zn showed the minimum result on plant height (56.2 cm), stem no (4.8), bud no (16.9), peduncle height (8.0 cm), stem dia (3.6 mm), and SPAD value (52.0). So, in a nutshell, we observed that the sole application of calcium and zinc is best for enhancing lisianthus growth and flower-related attributes.
