Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the performance of various African Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) genotypes for important quality parameters such as shelf life, total carotenoid content, and flower color intensity. Nine genotypes were evaluated to determine their suitability for cultivation in the Southern Zone of Telangana, India. The results indicate significant variations among the genotypes, providing valuable insights for cultivar selection based on specific quality attributes. The maximum shelf-life was observed in T4- Arka Vibha (6.40 days) and the lowest shelf-life (3.65 days) was registered in T9-Pusa Narangi Gainda. The highest total carotenoid content was observed in T2-Arka Subha (756.50 mg/100 g) and the lowest total carotenoid content.

(123.60 mg/100 g) was registered in T7-KAU M1. The RHS colour chart was used to identify the colour of the flower, the genotypes displayed a range of colors from yellow to orange. Arka Subha and Arka Abhi produced vibrant yellow and orange blooms, respectively. The compactness of the flowers also varied among genotypes.
