Studies on the Performance and Flower Characterization of Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora L.) Genotypes under Uttar Pradesh Conditions
Journal Title: Advances in Research - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present study, twelve varieties of CHRYSANTHEMUM collected from the National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow were evaluated under irrigated condition at Main Experiment Station, NDUA&T, Kumarganj, Faizabad during winter season (2011-12). A wide range of variation in the performance of the varieties were observed for various characters. Highest plant height (50.20 cm) and maximum number of florets per flower were observed in Suneel (339.67 cm). Genotype Dentiment showed maximum plant spread (34.74 cm), maximum number of flowers per plant (103.60 g), maximum flower diameter (10.40 cm), and highest weight of ten flowers (63.00 g). As for as suitability of particular genotypes is concerned, maximum number of primary branches in Jaya (10.30) and maximum flower vase life (16 days) in Jayanti was observed. Among all the 12 genotypes, few genotypes like Dentiment produced maximum flower yield (652.68 g per plant) followed by Suneel (345.33 g per plant) and Jaya (271.35 g per plant) which were significantly superior than the remaining varieties. Thus, on the basis of flower yield per plant these three genotypescan be chosen for commercial cultivation in Uttar Pradesh condition.
