Response of different nitrogen levels (0, 15, 20, 25 and 30 g/sq.ft.) alone and in combination with constant doses of phosphorus and potassium on the growth of Dahlia pinnata was studied at Malakandher Horticultural Farm, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar during 1997-98. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block design. There were 20 treatments with three replications. The fertilizer treatments significantly affected the days to flowering, number of flowers/plant, plant height, number of leaves per plant, primary root length, leaf area, and root stem ratio. A maximum day to flowering (123) was recorded with 30g N, while a minimum day to flowering (91) was noted with 15 g P. The highest number of flowers/plant (13), plant height (106.3 cm), primary root length (17 cm) were observed in plants supplied with 25g N+ 15g P+ 15g K. Maximum number of leaves/plant (71), leaf area (27 cm2) and root and stem ratio (0.75 ) was recorded in plants receiving 25 g N only. For the Dahlia growers 25g N+ 15g P+ 15g K/sq.ft. is recommended under the agro-climatic condition of Peshawar.
