Abstract

The results of the experiment revealed that due to sulphur deficiency newly emerging younger leaves became yellow and chlorotic. As deficiency increases leaves became yellowish white and chlorosis was clear. The roots of gerbera plant became small as compared to all nutrients treatment. Flower colour changes from orange to light orange (from Indian orange to nasturtium orange) from 155 days onwards upto last harvest.
