Abstract

Stability parameters were estimated for eight characters of Jasminum sambac (L.) Aiton cv. Single mogra under five nutrient schedules for lean season flowering during three years 2008-11. The analysis of variance showed that the nutrient schedules had significant responses towards different environment changes. Significant nutrient schedule × Environment interactions were detected for all the eight characters, ie. number of leaves at flowering, days to flower initiation, number of flower buds/plant, hundred bud weight, yield/plant, bud length, pedicel length and flower diameter. The treatment T4 (application of 10 kg FYM/plant/year and 120:240:240 g/plant of NPK in four equal splits during February, May, September, December was found to improve lean season yield and is a stable nutrient schedule for the characters, viz. number of leaves at flowering, number of flower buds/plant and yield/plant.
