چکیده
In this study, effects of various media on growth and physical characteristics of Calendula were evaluated. 20 days old seedlings were transplanted on different crop residues as media, including, Siltas control FYM+Silt (1:3), FYM+Silt (1:3) Maize crop residues and FYM+Silt (1:3) cockscomb as treatment, Completely Randomized Designs (RCBD) was applied to test the significance of treatments and means were compared. Highly significant results were found in all the parameters studied.Result showed that using maize residues significantly affected plant height (31cm) with maximum number of leaves (32) and more number of branches (15.33). The greatest numbers of flowers (15) were found in maize residues as compared to cockscombs residues. Cockscomb residues remain second in growth parameters while control has little effect on growth performance of calendula. These results lead toward better growth of production with maximum number of flowers.
