The effect of methods and spacings of planting on total yield of plant calendula officials

Abstract

A factorial experiment with 12C131) of four replication was carried out iof determine the influence of methods and spacings of planting on titalxield of flowers plant calendula officinals . methods of planting were furrows a part and rows a part spacings between plants were 10 , 20 and 30 cm . for both methods planting on furrows gave significant in crease in each of number of flower in fresh wt. fresh and dry yield perplant , percent of dry/ fresh wt. of flowers , number of flowers / plant , and fresh yield kg / ha. Mean while narrower spacings (10cm) between , plant produced higher number of flower in a fresh wt , fresh and dry yield of flowers kg / ha planting on furrows with (30 cm) between plants gave higher fresh and dry wt. flowers and higher number of flowers / plant . planting on furrows or rows of 10 cm between plants produced higher dry yield of flowers.
