Influence of planting dates and fertilizer modules on yield of chrysanthemum and soil health.

Background: Optimum planting date and appropriate fertilizer module are essential facets of chrysanthemum cultivation, to enhance quality yield, and improve soil health. A field-based study was undertaken over multiple growing seasons in 2022 and 2023, where six different planting dates, viz., P:June 15, P:June 30, P:July 15, P:July 30, P:August 15 and P:August 30 and two fertilizer modules, FM:Jeevamrit @ 30 ml plant and FM:NPK @ 30 g m were systematically examined using a Randomized Block Design (factorial), replicated thrice.
