ABSTRACT
Qualitative and quantitative flower quality parameters of jasmine are important in commercial as well as export point of view. Jasmine has the unique fragrance cointaining white flowers which is a highly valued ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Many varieties of the commercial Jasminum species are cultivated in India. Present study was done over the seven commercially cultivated varieties of South India region, i.e., Ramanathapuram Gundumalli, Madanban, Ramabanam, Single Mohra, CO.1 Mullai, Parimullai and CO.1 Pitchi. There is very less or no scientific evidence available on the performance of flowers during flowering season. In this study, highest flower bud diameter (0.90 cm) recorded in Single Mohra where as highest flower bud length recorded in CO. 1 Pitchi (3.85 cm). Highest hundred flower bud weight (28.60 g) and single flower bud weight (0.275 g) were observed in Madanban. It is important to study the qualitative and quantitative flower quality parameters of jasmine to gain profit in the flower export business as well as in value addition businesses.
