Abstract A field trial laid out in a randomized block design with 7 treatments and three replications at central Agricultural University, Imphal, Manipur during 2021-22 showed that the treatment incorporating 75 per cent vermicompost + azotobacter @ 2 g corm−1 + PSB @ 2 g corm−1 recorded minimum transpiration to water uptake ratio (1.34), maximum no of open florets (95.78), maximum days for opening of top most floret in the spike (11), wilting of top most floret in the spike (15.17), water uptake upto senescence (88 ml), longevity of each open florets (days) and diameter of the full open florets (cm) and vase life (9.33).
