An field experiment was undertaken at the Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during the period of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. The experiment was laid out with 9 treatments in Randomized Block Design(RBD) and replicated 3 times. The Treatments comprised of T0 (Control), T1 {Bacillus subtilis (4% solution)}, T2 {Microbacterium laevaniformans (4% solution)}, T3 NPK (@15:10:20 g m-2), T4 Vermicompost (5 kg per plot), T5 (½ NPK + ½ Vermicompost + Bacillus subtilis), T6 (½ NPK + ½ Vermicompost + Microbacterium laevaniformans), T7 (½ NPK + ½ Vermicompost + Consortium) and T8 (Consortium). The results revealed that the flowering, quality and yield attributes were significantly influenced by the treatments. Most of the flowering, quality and yield characters were found highest in T7. Early visibility of bud from planting was recorded in the treatment T7 i.e., 61.09 days. This trend was reflected by early opening of bud (8.65days), days taken for early full bloom from bud opening (3.55 days), longer duration of flower (124.10 days), highest number of flowers per plant (34.33), highest flower diameter (9.78 cm), highest disc diameter (3.70 cm), length of flower stalk (50.37 cm), girth of flower stalk (0.66 cm) for T7 respectively. The highest self life of flower (16.21 days) and highest vase life of flower (10.78 days) were recorded in treatment T7 respectively. Likewise highest fresh weight of flower (12.85 g) and highest dry weight of flower (2.06 g) was recorded in treatment T7 respectively.
