Abstract:
An experiment entitled Evaluation of sub-tropical orchids (Dendrobium sp.) for vegetative characters under Shadenet conditions was conducted in 50% Shadenet, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology And Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P), India. The experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with eight varieties replicated thrice. The varieties used were P957, P1006, P1019, Sonia White, Sonia 5N, Somark White, Pink Stripe and Burana Jade. The results revealed that the variety P1006 was significantly promising variety with respect to plant height (27.1 cm), internodal length (4,5 cm) and shoots per plant (8). Burana Jade had the shortest height (13.8 cm), shorter internodes (1.9 cm) and smaller leaves (25.7 cm²) which gives it a compact structure making it suitable variety as a potted plant.
