Influence of different pruning months on growth and flowering of Jasminum auriculatum

Abstract

An investigation was carried out during 2017-2019 at the Department of Floriculture & Landscaping, TNAU, Coimbatore to study the effect of pruning on growth and flowering of Jasminum auriculatum. The level of pruning height 30cm from ground and pruning months (September-April) every month was done except in peek season (May-August) of flowering. Pruning during last week of October gave the highest plant height, number of shoots and maximum yield (g/plant) in Jasminum auriculatum whereas, lowest plant height, number of shoots and yield (g/plant) was observed in December pruning.
