Cultivar Prof. Harris performed better in terms of flower diameter ( cm), fresh and dry weight ( and g) of cut flower, whereas cultivar Sunil showed longer flower stem length ( cm), water uptake ( ml) and vase life ( days). Application of 75% recommended dose of fertilizer and vermicompost coupled with dual inoculation of Azotobacter and VAM proved most effective in enhancing the flower stem length ( cm), more flower diameter ( cm) and enhanced vase life of flowers ( days). The highest water uptake () and maximum available nitrogen ( kg/ha), phosphorus ( kg/ha) and potassium content ( kg/ha) was recorded in treatment with application of 75% RDF + Azotobacter + VAM + vermicompost (T15). | Effect of integrated nutrient management on floral parameters and soil nutrient status in chrysanthemum Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.
