Abstract
The experiment was conducted at the Horticultural farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, during the period from April, 2009 to March, 2010 to investigate the effect of potassium levels on growth, flowering and bulb yield of tuberose. The experiment consisted of four levels of potassium i.e. K0: 0, K1: 170, K2: 180 and K3: 190 kg K2O ha-1. Results showed that potash application significantly increased the number of leaves plant-1, leaf length, leaf breath, number of side shoots plant-1; and bulb and flower attributes. Significantly the highest flower (16.4 t ha-1) and bulb (22.0 t ha-1) yields were noted in K3 whereas the lowest flower (11.5 t ha-1) and bulb (17.2 t ha-1) yields were recorded in K0.
