Abstract:
Performance of five African marigold genotypes including one local check (Pusa Narangi Gainda) was evaluated during the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 for summer season flowering under North Bihar agro-ecological conditions at the Research farm of Dr Rajendra Prasad central Agricultural University, Pusa, Samastipur (Bihar). All the genotypes differed significantly with respect to vegetative, floral and yield characters. The marigold genotype, “BRMG-113” proved to be the best cultivar for summer season when the traditional cultivars fail to perform. The genotype, “Serakol” was found second best and performance of other genotypes was markedly poor.
