Quality characterization of new chrysanthemum genotypes
2019
Abstract
A field experiment was carried out to characterize the performance of new chrysanthemum genotypes to identify suitability for cultivation in different purposes. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with twenty new genotypes in three replications at Horticultural Research Station, Mandouri, West Bengal during 2013-14 and 2014-15. Based on the evaluation of various vegetative and reproductive parameters, genotypes ‘Super’, ‘Sobha’, ‘Kumar’s White’, ‘Kumar’s Pink’, ‘Lalima’, ‘Jayanti’, ‘Swapna’ and ‘Antara’ were found suitable for cut flower production as the plants were tall with long flower stalk, uniform opening of flowers and longer vase life. Genotypes ‘Purna’, ‘Bloom’, ‘Rust’ and ‘Mauve’ were observed to be suitable for growing in the garden preferably due to better plant spread together with more number of flowers, synchronous flowering and comparatively longer flowering duration. The genotypes ‘Shankar’, ‘Triumph’, ‘Rani’ and ‘Rupanjali’ were found suitable fo...
