Evaluation of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat genotypes for loose flower, cut flower and pot mums
Author(s): J Suresh
Abstract: Investigation was carried out in 58 genotypes of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat) collected from diverse geographical origins and was assessed for different morphological and biochemical traits. Among the 58 genotypes, Indira registered the highest value for the traits viz., plant height, plant spread and number of lateral branches, number of flower clusters per plant, flower yield per plant, early bud appearance and days taken for full bloom from bud appearance. Whereas the highest shelf life and individual flower weight was noticed in Pusa Centenary. Based on the per se performance, the genotypes viz., Indira and Chandhini were identified to be suitable for loose flower production with high yield. The promising genotypes suitable for cut flower production are Pusa Centenary, Ravikiran and Lalith. The genotypes which are suitable for garden display as pot mums are Meera White, Red Stone, Acc.116, Dolly Orange, Lalpark and Little Pink.
