The study was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Anantharajupeta by collecting 5 genotypes of Crossandra during the year 18-19. Two lines of crossandra germplasm, i.e. Ratanaboli (Yelllow), Pishiaboli (yellow) collected from ICAR-Central Coastal Agricultural Research Institute, Goa and similarly nine local selections from Pakala, B.N. Kandrika, Nagiri, Bynapalli, perur, and obulapalli and one green coloured wild type from Railway Kodur region and three selections (Orange, Yellow, Green) from different locations of Kadium. Highest yield per hectare (1975.50 kg) was found in ACS-11 which stood at a par with Ratan Aboli (1903.56 kg) whereas lowest yield per hectare (1146.63 kg) was recorded in ACS-9.
