Abstract: Flowering parameters including days to flower bud initiation and days to 50 per cent flowering early flowering was observed in cv. Arka Bangara-2 (39.54 and 51.76 days) followed by cv. Arka Bangara (40.03 and 52.22 days), cv. Arka Agni (41.53 days) and cv. Raichur local (52.92 days). Further, Arka Bangara-2 and Arka Bangara were early to produce 50 per cent flowering so they can be termed as early type. The findings also reveal that, in case of flower diameter, significantly maximum flower diameter was recorded in cv. Maxima yellow (7.20 cm), followed by cv. Arka Bangara-2 (6.17 cm) whereas, minimum flower diameter was recorded in the cv. Shahapur local (3.42 cm) in both the seasons. The study also reveals that, the longest flowering duration (77.29 days) was observed in cv. Arka Bangara-2, which was followed by the genotype Arka Agni (74.11 days) whereas, the flowering duration (39.53 days) was shortest in cv. Shahapur local and maximum shelf life (6.24 days.) of flowers was recorded in genotyepe Arka Bangara-2, followed by cv. Arka Agni (5.53days) whereas, var. In dam yellow (3.26 days) shorter shelf life was noticed under room condition in both seasons.
