Abstract:
The study was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from April 2013 to February
2014.The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: Three levels of bulb
size: B

-Small size, B

-Medium size, B
-Large size and Factor B: Three levels
of depth of planting: D

-3cm, D

-5cm and D
-7cm respectively.The experiment
was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications.
Bulb size and depth of planting showed significant variations on most of the
parameters. In case of bulb size highest yield of spike

and the lowest spike
. In case of depth of planting, the highest yield of spike

and lowest spike

. For combined effect highest yield

lowest spike

So large size bulb planting in 5cm depth was found best for growth, flowering
and yield of tuberose.
