The present investigation entitled “Impact of organic starter solution on vase life of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev)” was carried out at Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur during 2018-19. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with thirteen treatments and three replications consisting of organic starter solution alone and in combination with PSB and Trichoderma. The purpose of the experiment was to evaluate the result of applying organic starter solution in plants, comparing it to inorganic starter solutions to evaluate the vase life of chrysanthemum grown in potted condition. Studies showed organic starter solutions significantly improved the freshness of flower over control. Maximum vase life (19.67 days) was recorded at application of treatment T8 (Goatery slurry + PSB) which was significantly superior over all the other treatments including control. Minimum vase life (17.20 days) was recorded in the treatment T13 (RDF 2% inorganic liquid19:19:19) taken as control.
