Abstract:
An investigation on evaluation of 15 genotypes of Barleria (Barleria spp.) with respect to growth and yield parameters of Barleria flowers was carried out at College of Horticulture, Sirsi, UHS, Bagalkot during the year 2019-20. The results revealed that among the genotypes at 120 DAT the maximum plant height was observed in COHS-12 (88.30 cm) number of leaves was more in COHS-7 (994.44), plant spread was maximum in COHS-2 (44.67 cm), higher number of primary shoots in COHS-6 (13.33), maximum total leaf area per plant was recorded in COHS-12 (16327 cm²), avarage leaf area was maximum in COHS-6 (24.33 cm²), more number of spikes per plant and more number of flowers per spike was recorded in COHS-5 (104.00 and 8.76 respectively), COHS-12 recorded maximum 100 flowers weight (22.86 g), highest flower yield per plant and also per hectare was recorded in COHS-9 (66.64 g/plant and 5.14 t/ha).
