Evaluation of different Dahlia (Dahlia variabilis L.) cultivars for production of tuber yield under Chhattisgarh plains

Abstract

An experiment was conducted at the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, CoA, IGKV, Raipur from 2019-20 to 2020-21. The experiment was laid out in RBD with three replications and 20 cultivars with a view to find out the overall evaluation of different cultivars of dahlia. Result showed that the tuber yield parameters were observed i.e. number of tubers plant-1 (7.96), number of tuber plot-1 (113.70), weight of single tuber (86.29g), tuber yield plant-1 (86.95g), tuber yield plot-1 (1.78 kg) and tuber yield (2.52 t ha-1) was observed in cv. T4 (Blackout Black).
