The present investigation entitled “Effect of nitrogen and spacing on flowering of spider lily (Hymenocallis littoralis L.)” was undertaken at College of Horticulture, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli during the year 2019-20 and 2020-21 by considering the commercial importance of spider lily under Konkan agro-climatic conditions. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design using four levels of nitrogen and three levels of spacing with three replications along with the common dosage of phosphorous (150 kg ha-1) and potassium (100 kg ha-1). The observations were recorded on various flowering parameters viz., such as days taken for first spike emergence, days taken for first flower emergence, number of spikes per plant, spike length, spike breadth and number of buds per spike. Days taken for first spike emergence (182.04) and first flower emergence (191.02) were recorded as lowest in N4 (150 kg ha-1). The highest number of spikes per plant (2.73) and flower bud per spike (16.15) were recorded in N1 (300 kg ha-1). However, with regards to effect of spacing, S2 (60 × 60 cm) recorded the lowest days taken for first spike (183.86) and first flower emergence (193.25), while the highest number of spikes per plant (2.33) and number of buds per spike (14.25) was noticed in S3 (30 × 60 cm). Spike length and breadth were found to be non-significant with respect to effect of nitrogen, spacing and their interaction.
