Abstract

Zinnia is a loose flower used for religious purposes and for social functions in India.

All the media treatments studied recorded superior over control. Among the media treatments studied  T10 (Garden soil 50% + FYM 25% + VC 25% + Azotobacter showed significant effect with different parameters viz. minimum days taken to first flower bud initiation (34.73 days), maximum blooming period (12.03 days), maximum flower weight (1.95 g), maximum flower yield (42.4 g), maximum number of flowers per plant (37.96).
