ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth and quality performance of chrysanthemum cultivars. Thirteen chrysanthemum cultivars coded from V1 to V13 were used in the experiment. Plant height, plant spread, number of branches per plant, fresh weight and dry weight of plant, diameter of flower at mature stage and stalk length of flower for different cultivars varied significantly. Amongst the chrysanthemum cultivars ‘Maghi’ showed the maximum plant spread N-S (53.31 cm) & E-W (50.90 cm) , number of branches per plant (66.67), fresh (422.96 g) and dry weight of plant (181.61 g). But it was shown the minimum diameter of flower (3.07 cm). The variety ‘Ratlam Selection’ showed maximum plant height (51.46 cm). Variety ‘Ravi Kiran’ recorded maximum diameter (80.07 cm) and stalk length of flower (17.79 cm).
Key words: Evaluation, Growth, Quality, Chrysanthemum, Varieties.
