Abstract:
An investigation on ‘Testing of genotypes in tuberose (Double type) for cut flower varieties under Pune conditions’ was carried out at All India Co Ordinated Research Project, Zonal Agricultural Research Station Ganeshkhind Pune -67 (Maharashtra, India) during three years (2018-19 to 2020-21) in randomized block design with six treatments and three replications. The results revealed that among the six double type tuberose genotypes the genotype Local Double recorded significantly more spike length (105.42 cm), length of floret (6.59 cm) and weight of spike (132.12 g). The cv. Arka Suvasini recorded significantly more rachis length (51.86 cm). However, the cv. Phule Rajat recorded more number of florets per spike (44.08) which is at par with cv Arka Suvasini (42.17) and Vaibhav (42.00). Maximum number of spikes (9.08) per plant was recorded by Phule Rajat which was at par with BRH-24 (7.75).
