Performance and flower characterization of newly evolved genotypes of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev) for cut flower production

Abstract

An experiment was conducted on Performance and flower characterization of newly evolved genotypes of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev) for cut flower production at the experimental

Performance of chrysanthemum varieties under the agro-climatic subzone of Bundelkhand

“…Variation in accumulation of maximum photosynthates in different genotypes or varieties may have resulted in production of more weight and number of flowers as well as bigger size flowers. Similar results for difference in flowering duration among the genotypes have been reported by Singh et al (2008) and Rao and Pratap (2006) and due to interaction between genotype and environment (Negi et al, 2020).…”

“…The maximum flower diameter (7.60 cm) was observed in the variety Pusa Shwet which was significantly superior over other varieties. Significant variation in flower diameter and weight were also observed by Negi et al (2020). Variation in flower diameter may be due to genetic influence of the varieties under the particular environment (Kumar et al, 2020).…”
