ABSTRACT
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 for home gardens and commercial cultivation. Many varieties of the commercial Jasminum species are cultivated in Tamil Nadu as well as in India. Some of the commercially cultivated varieties are 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 pre flowering season. Highest flower bud diameter (0.85 cm) recorded in Single Mohra where as highest flower bud length recorded in CO. 1 Pitchi (3.65 cm). Highest hundred flower bud weight (26.38 g) and single flower bud weight (0.259 g) were recorded in Madanban. It is important to study the qualitative and quantitative flower quality parameters to maintain the uninterrupted export supply chain during pre flowering period.
Key words: Jasminum spp., Commercial varieties, Quality parameters, Pre flowering season
