An experiment was carried out to evaluate 25 genotypes of heliconia (Heliconia spp) under 50% shade net during 2008-09 to 2010-11. Wide range of variation among the 25 genotypes of heliconia was recorded with respect to vegetative and floral characteristics. Among the different genotypes, Iris Bannochie (red), Parrot Beak (red with yellow edges), Lobster Claw-II (orange-red), Pedro Ortiz (cherry red), H. wagneria Red (red), Orange (crimson) and Golden Torch (yellow) were found ideal for cut flowers and recommended for commercial cultivation and as landscape plant for south Gujarat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
