The research work was conducted in the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during the year 2019-2020. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replication & 12 treatments. Treatments were allocated randomly to each replication, each treatment comprised of one plant, which made a total of 36 plants. The best results were achieved in treatment T4 NPK (100:105:105) gram per plant with maximum plant height (113.62), maximum number of leaves per plant (71.99), maximum number of branches per plant (10.07), minimum days to bud initiation (43.31 days), minimum days taken flowering (49.87 days), maximum number of flower per plant(15.83), maximum flower diameter (cm) (13.06), flower weight (g) was found maximum (3.82), number of flower was found maximum (39575) along with maximum cost benefit ratio (1:1.46).

Objectives and Key Themes
This thesis aims to investigate the effect of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on the growth and flower yield of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. The study aims to optimize the application of these nutrients to improve plant growth and flower production.
- The impact of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on plant height, leaf number, and branch number of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.
- The influence of nutrient levels on flowering characteristics, including days to bud initiation, days to flowering, number of flowers per plant, flower diameter, and flower weight.
- The economic feasibility of different nutrient treatments for Hibiscus rosa-sinensis cultivation.
- Optimization of nutrient application for maximizing flower yield and profitability.
