Abstract: To get high flower production of tuberose,growing media and NPK fertilizer proportion was determined accurately by polynomial regression quadratic equation (PRQE) in four elements.The partial derivatives from polynomial regression equation (Y6) was utilized for estimating the maximum production of tuberose flower.Results revealed coding level X1=-1.695, X2=-1.122,X3=0.311 and X4=1.151,which are converted into doses of trial factors,are KD-1-Hydrophilic gel/sandy-soil (HG/SS)=0.652%,(NH4)2SO4=14.39 (g穖-3),Ca(H2PO4)22O=25.75 (g穖-3),and K2SO4=25.89 (g穖-3).Therefore,Ymax =28.79 (number of flower穖-2).Results revealed that plant height was significantly influenced by the application of three major nutrients.However,number of leaves/plant increased non-significantly with the increasing level of NPK and HG/SS.Number of bulks/clump was also influenced by N,P and K as well as HG/SS.Application of higher levels of NPK showed profound effect on increasing flower production (number of spikes穖-2),and number of florets/spike.Therefore,higher doses of NPK are recommended for higher production of flower.
