Abstract

An experiment entitled Response of cockscomb to various doses of nitrogen and phosphorus was carried out at ornamental nursery Cantonment Board Now shehra during June – August 2015. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCB-Design) with two factors, factorial arrangement having three replication. Factor A included Nitrogen levels (0, 30, 45, 60,) and factor B included Phosphorus levels (0, 25, 50, 75). Maximum number of leaves plant-1 (57), leaf length (16.50cm), leaf fresh weight (41.58g), flower fresh weight (52g) and root length (25.33cm) were recorded at 45kg ha-1 nitrogen respectively. Maximum number of leaves plant-1 (57.08), leaf length (17.50cm), leaf fresh weight (40.75g), flower length (10.88cm), flower fresh weight (54.50g) and root length (24.42cm) were recorded at 50kg ha-1 of phosphorus. It is concluded that optimum level of nitrogen and Phosphorus promotes many growth attributes of cockscomb while higher doses of nitrogen and Phosphorus results in reduced plant growth.
