“…The genus Callistephus is derived from two Greek words 'Kalistos' and 'Stephos' meaning 'most beautiful and 'a crown' referring to the flower head respectively. It was first named by Linnaeus as Aster chinensis but Nees changed this name to Callistephus chinensis (Janakiram, 2006). The plant is medium tall, 18 inches to 24 inches in height (Emsweller et al, 1937).…”

The experiment was laid out in Randomized Completely Block Design with three replications. Sixteen genotypes namely, Arka Poornima, Arka Archana, Arka Aadya, Arka Kamini, Arka Shashank, Phule Ganesh White, Phule Ganesh Pink, Phule Ganesh Purple, Phule Ganesh Light pink, Pink Cushion, Arabhavi Aster Collection-1 (AAC-1), Namadhari Pink, Selected line (L-76), Selected line (L-179), Selected line (L-179/1) and Selected line (L-56) have been collected from IIHR, Hessaraghata Lake, Bengaluru, Karnataka for the trial.The different morphological, phenological as well as floral traits have been collected during the crop period which showed significant variation among the evaluated China aster genotypes. The maximum number of flowers per plant was recorded in ‘Arka Aadya’ (71.40) and ‘Arka Shashank’ (66.27) statistically at par with ‘Arka Aadya’ and the highest vase life as cut flower was noticed in Arka Shashank (11.67 days). Flower diameter was maximum in Phule Ganesh White (8.29 cm) which was at par with Arka Poornima (6.92 cm) and Phule Ganesh Purple (6.53 cm). Among the all genotypes, the maximum weight of ten fresh flowers were observed in Arka Poornima (54.17 g) which was statistically at par with Phule Ganesh White (53.61 g). These characters are considered to be very important with respect to commercial value of the variety for fulfil the consumers demand. The genotypes Arka Poornima, Phule Ganesh White, Arka Shashank, Arka Kamini and Arka Aadya may be recommended for commercial cultivation as loose flowers as well as cut flowers in the Terai region of West Bengal.

“…Native to China, it expanded its presence to Europe and other tropical countries around 1731 AD [2]. Linnaeus originally named the flower Aster chinensis, but it was later reclassified by Nees as Callistephus chinensis, marking a change in its scientific nomenclature [3]. The present-day asters have been developed from a single form of wild species, Callistephus chinensis.…”

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of seaweed extracts on the growth and yield of China aster (cv. Arka Archana). Thirteen different treatments,along with control were employed in order to investigate their effects. The treatments consisted of two concentrations (2ML/L and 4ML/L) of Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract, two concentrations (2ML/L and 4ML/L) of Durvillaea potatorum seaweed extract, and application intervals of 5, 10, and 15 days.To ensure accuracy and reliability, each treatment in the study was replicated three times using a randomized block design (RBD).Various growth parameters, including plant height (cm), number of leaves, number of branches, plant spread (cm), were examined to assess the plant's growth progress. The yield parameter was assessed by examining flower yield per plant, flower yield per plot, and flower yield per hectare.Among the different treatments, treatment T9 (2ML/L Ascophyllum nodosum applied at 15 days interval) demonstrated the highest values for various parameters, including plant height (53.41 cm), number of leaves (172.78), number of branches (25.40), plant spread (53.33 cm), flower yield per plant (367.15 g), flower yield per plot (2202.92 g), and flower yield per hectare (23.13 t). Conversely, the control group (water spray) exhibited the lowest values across all parameters. These findings led to the conclusion that foliar applications of 2ML/L Ascophyllum nodosum at 15 days interval have the potential to significantly enhance flower yield, making it a promising option for improving overall productivity.

“…J TT potential of novel ornamentals from wild sources exists throughout the globe (Janakiram et al 2021;Bansal et al 2022). In spite of having a rich and diverse plant wealth in many countries, especially in India majority of the exotic plants are given due weightage in floricultural trades as compared to the indigenous wild plant species.…”

Ornamental plants are important constituent of floristic diversity which beautify and glorify our surroundings. They add a positive attitude to life, intensify the feeling of happiness, and enhance the economic value of the estate. There has been a growing trend promoted by environmentalists, ecologists, and horticulturalists toward the inclusion of new wild ornamental plants (WOPs) for minimising their maintenance costs and enhancing their survival rate. The current study inventorised the floristic diversity of native WOPs of the Aravalli Hill Range of Haryana State. Researchers recorded 88 native WOPs species belonging to 40 plant families. Asteraceae and Poaceae are the most dominant families, contributing seven species each followed by Fabaceae and Malvaceae with six species each. The habit wise distribution of native WOPs from the Aravalli hill ranges depicted that herbaceous types of plants are dominant with 53.4 % followed by trees (18.2 %), climbers (14.8 %), and shrubs (11.4%). These native WOPs were found suitable for various ornamental purposes which ranges from the garden, potted, medicinal, lawn cover, avenue tree, hedge/fencing, edible, religious/ ceremonial, road dividers, cacti, succulent, and indoor foliage. The current study documented four plants, viz., Argyreia cuneata (Willd.) Ker Gawl., Boswellia serrata Roxb. ex Colebr., Pulicaria wightiana (DC.) C.B.Clarke, and Rivea hypocrateriformis (Desr.) Choisy. endemic to the Indian subcontinent. Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC., Cleome viscosa L., Saccharum spontaneum L., and Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq. were reported to have somewhat invasive potential in this region. Further, it is also suggested to introduce some potential native WOPs into domestication by florists, horticulturists, nurserymen, and municipal authorities for the protection, conservation, and perpetuation of these plants to minimize the use of foreign floral species to control the further spread of alien plants.
