“…This might be due to the good plants vigour and optimum temperature prevailing during the crop growing period for favourable production of bigger size of flowers with more weight of flower. This results are in conformity with the findings of Chanda and Roychoudhary [4] ; Lohar et al [5] . The Seracole cultivar during October planting showed number of ray florets and disc florets (162.95,75.00) followed by March planting where number of ray florets and disc florets was 156.60, 65.80 respectively with compact flower in both the seasons.…”

The field experiment was carried out during the year 2016 and 2017under KVK's in Sengamari Habigaon village of Dibrugarh district and Moumaikigaon of Golaghat district of Assam for Popularization of marigold cv. Seracole for income generation through front line demonstration. The data were recorded for flower yield, quality and economics of marigold cultivation for summer and winter season. The results showed that in October planting the average weight of flower 6.35g, flower diameter 7.35 cm, number of ray florets 162.95, disc florets 75.00, self life 19.20 days, loose flower life 4.55 days, number of flower per plant 139.0, yield per plant 0.85 kg, yield per plot 14.40 kg, yield per hectare 240.00 q with good compact flower which was closely followed by March planting with 6.10g, 7.10 cm, 156.60, 65.80, 17.92 days, 3.40 days, 128.75, 0.81 kg, 11.30kg and 234.00 q respectively. But the benefit cost ratio was showed highest in March planting of 4.85 compared to October planting 3.0 due high demand and price in the summer season.

“…On the basis of location performances, the highest value of inflorescence yield/plant (852.35 g) was recorded at Wondo Genet for cultivar AVT540 and the lowest (195.67 g) was for Hewoyde cultivar at Debre Zeit (Table 4). The maximum values obtained for inflorescence yield/plant in the present study are higher than previous reports (Karuppaiah & Kumar, 2010;Muthukrishnan et al, 2013;Badge et al, 2014;Idan et al, 2014;Augustine et al, 2016;Baskaran et al, 2017;Lohar et al, 2018;Das et al, 2020). The higher fresh inflorescence yield/plant may be due to the development of better vegetative and flower characters.…”

“…The consistent result was also reported by Pushkar and Singh (2015) for African marigolds in other countries. On the other hand, lower values of single inflorescence weight (3.74-9.2 g) were reported in various works (Idan et al, 2014;Sharma et al, 2017;Singh et al, 2017;Lohar et al, 2018;Thirumalmurugan et al, 2020). The variation in individual inflorescence weight in African marigold varieties may be due to genetic and environmental factors.…”

Despite the African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) is one of the most commercially exploited flower and medicinal crops in the world and have received great attention in scientific research in the recent past, the plant has never been tested under Ethiopian condition for its agronomic and chemical traits. Thus, the present study was conducted with the main objective to evaluate the growth, yield and quality attributes of three introduced African marigold cultivars. The experiments were conducted at six locations in Ethiopia using a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on vegetative growth, flower characteristics, inflorescence yield, and xanthophyll content were collected and statistically tested. Significant variation (P < 0.01) was observed among cultivars across the tested locations for all the studied parameters. Overall higher values of plant height (65.48 cm), branch number plant-1 (89.09), inflorescence number plant-1 (76.89), inflorescence weight (25.48 g), inflorescence yield plant-1 (560.77 g) and inflorescence yield ha-1 (18 t) were obtained in AVT001 cultivar and flower xanthophyll content (27.6 mg g-1) in AVT540 cultivar; while lowest values were rerecorded for all characters in Hewoyde cultivar. Inflorescence yield ha-1 was found positively and significantly correlated with all parameters except xanthophyll content. Xanthophyll content was found positively and significantly correlated with flower weight. As the cultivars AVT001 and AVT540 are adapted very well and gave comparable and/or higher yields with the other marigold growing countries, the two cultivars can be recommended for commercial cultivation of their inflorescence and extracted pigments in Ethiopia.

“…Developing hybrid varieties of marigolds has been for improving ornamental characteristics. Many researchers have studied marigold breeding and selection (Chaudhary et al, 2015;Nilima et al, 2017;Lohar et al, 2018), but information on improving hybrid varieties is rare. Heterosis has a wide usage among crops for yield and quality advancement.…”

This research’s objectives focused on using two male-sterile systems, apetaloid and petaloid types, as female parents for the F1 marigold cut flower hybrid development. These female lines’ creation came from the same original line, the gynomonoecious line, with five backcrosses to obtain two female lines, FY1502 and FY1502AP. Their crossing with 10 male lines progressed during the summer from April to August 2016. Then, growing the progenies of 20 crosses and four commercial varieties as checks for characterization and evaluation continued in a lattice design with two replications. Planting them in six blocks contained 10 plants per treatment. The data recorded on eight horticultural characteristics include flower diameter, number of petals per flower, calyx length, peduncle length, flower weight, the number of days from sowing to first flowering, plant height, and plant bush diameter, as well as, the morphology of flowers. The results showed that progenies from two female apetaloid and petaloid with the same male line gave similar outcomes; all progenies produced male sterile double-flowers with golden-yellow flowers, except progenies of MY1501 and MY1502, which created yellow flowers. FY1502 gave the same superior F1 progenies as FY1502AP in the diameter of the flower. Based on the results, both females could give good characteristics on flower diameter, calyx length, plant height and bush diameter, and early flowering. However, the heterobeltiosis of the F1 progenies of a few vegetative and reproductive characteristics differed. The FY1502AP gave better progenies in peduncle length heterobeltiosis than those of FY1502 and slightly better for plant bush diameter, whereas FY1502 gave slightly better in flower weight heterobeltiosis than those of FY1502AP. The findings of this study indicate that this apetaloid type could benefit Thailand’s marigold seed production program.
