Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to study the Impact of timely application of fertilizers on yield and economics of Jasmine (Jasminum sambac L.) conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Erode District through KVK’s technical programme during three consecutive years i.e., 2022-23, 2023-24 & 2024-25 in the selected villages. The result revealed that Technology Option 1: RDF- NPK @ 60:120:120 g/plant/year is applied in 2 equal splits during November (after pruning) and June-July along with 10 kg FYM per plant; Foliar spray of Panchagavya 3% + Humic acid 0.4% & Foliar spray of 0.25% ZnSO4 + 0.5% MgSO4 + 0.5% FeSO4 @ monthly interval significantly increases 1000 flower weight (189.5 g) and flower yield /ha (3.20 q/ha). In terms of cost benefit ratio, Gross Returns and Net Returns, the same Technology Option 1 recorded the highest whereas lowest yield and economics were recorded in Farmers Practice (Control).
