Impact of organic leachate on growth and yield of ornamental sunflower
Abstract
A field experiment was accomplished at the Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from October to December 2021 to evaluate the impact of organic leachate on the growth and yield of ornamental sunflower. The variety used was "Hybrid Ornamental Sunflower (F1)" (Vincent Choice). The single-factor experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The experiment consisted of four treatments namely, T: Control (no leachate application), V: Vermicompost leachate, N: Neem oil cake leachate and M: Mustard oil cake leachate. Data on different growth, flower yield and quality attribute parameters were taken and all the treatments showed significant variations. Among the treatments, the tallest plant height (120.1 cm), the maximum number of leaves (35.1), leaf area (158.9 cm2), SPAD value (34.7), stalk diameter (7.1 mm), ray floret area (27.9 cm2), flower head size (15.0 cm), and flower head weight (30.4 g) showed superiority in N (Neem oil cake leachate). On the contrary, the shortest plant height (94.1 cm), the minimum number of leaves (28.1), leaf area (100.3 cm2), SPAD value (31.6), stalk diameter (5.3 mm), ray floret area (15.6 cm2), flower head size (10.8 cm), and flower head weight (16.9 g) observed minimum in T (Control) treatment. As a result, it can be concluded that N (Neem oil cake leachate) is an easy and effective organic substance that can potentially increase the entire growth and yield of ornamental sunflowers to advance the commercial cut-flower industry in Bangladesh.
Key Words: Organic matter, Cut flower and Safe production.
