An elaborate study on 'yield and quality of chrysanthemum as influenced by integrated nutrient management' had been carried out during the two consecutive years i.e. 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The yield attributes viz. yield plant -1 and ha -1 as well as number of flower head plant -1 and quality attributes viz. diameter of flower head, length of peduncle, longevity of intact flower, shelf life of flower and weight of flower were recorded maximum with the treatment comprising of application of 75% RDF + vermicompost @ 5 t ha -1 + Azotobactor + PSB.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of plant growth regulators and chemical on growth, flowering and yield of hasta bahar acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with two main plot treatments and nine sub-plot treatments and three replications. The study revealed that, the application of GA 3 @ 50 ppm in June + Cycocel @ 1000 ppm in September + KNO 3 @ 2 % in October showed superior performance in regard to number of flowers per shoot (8.18), number of fruits per tree (382.50), initial fruit set (54.74) and fruit retention (39.73), yield (4.13) and percentage increase in yield over control (52.43). GA 3 @ 50 ppm in June recorded highest increase in plant height, canopy spreads, canopy volume, shoot length and also resulted in highest days taken to flowering. However, KNO 3 @ 2 % in October induced earliest flowering in acid lime.
