Abstract
The results of the experiment revealed that without sulphur and copper treatment showed significant reduction in yield, fresh and drymatter production of gerbera per plant. Minimum number of flowers were recorded in without copper and without sulphur treatment ( 2.60 and 2.80 flowers respectively).The significant decrease in fresh weight of roots were recorded under without copper and without sulphur treatment (35.23 g and 35.97 g respectively). The lowest fresh weight of crown + leaves was recorded in without sulphur treatment (91.84 g) followed by without copper treatment (93.99 g). The lowest fresh weight of flower was observed in without copper treatment (62.03 g) followed by without sulphur treatment (68.89 g) as compared to all nutrient treatment (136.18 g). Significantly lowest dry weight of roots was recorded in without copper treatment (5.97 g) followed by without sulphur treatment (6.20 g). Significantly lowest dry weight of crown + leaves was observed in without sulphur treatment (15.99 g) followed by without copper treatment (16.33 g). The lowest dry weight of flower was observed in without copper treatment (10.51 g) followed by without sulphur treatment (11.88 g) as compared to all nutrient treatment (24.41 g).
