Abstract: The results of the experiment indicated that, the application of nitrogen + potassium @ 150 kg + 60 kg followed by 100 kg + 120 kg significantly improved yield parameters (number of spikes per plant, spike length, number of florets per spike, floret length and flower yield per plant) and B: C ratio.
Keywords: B: C ratio, Crossandra, NK levels, Yield
