Carnations are highly responsive to manures and fertilizers. This crop is very sensitive to boron and calcium deficiency. Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potash should be given in the ratio of 30:20:30 grams/sq.mts/year. Carnation’s crop requires almost equal parts of nitrogen and potash. Should supply trace element boron and calcium in adequate quantities for healthy flowers. This can be done through a growth medium. This crop requires well decomposed manure of 25 to 30 tonnes per 1 hectare. This can be supplemented in the soil during land or soil preparation. A basal dose of N:P:K of 20:20:10 grams/sq.mts should be given at the time of planting and the remaining fertilizer should be applied in equally distributed dosage over the period.
