Influence of polyhouse conditions on flower weight and vase life of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) genotypes

Abstract

The present investigation on “Studies on flower weight and vase life of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) genotypes under polyhouse conditions.” was carried out at College of Horticulture, Dr. Balasaheb Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli Dist. Ratnagiri, Maharashtra at Polyhouse Near the Energy Park, CAET, during 2021-2022. Chrysanthemum is one of the most important flower crops. Nowadays, chrysanthemums cultivated for cut flower purposes and it can be grown in polyhouse for getting maximum production. The experiment was laid out with ten different genotypes in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The genotypes include CHY-1, CHY-2, CHY-3, CHY-4, CHY-5, CHY-6, CHY-7, CHY-8, CHY-9 and CHY-10. Among all the genotypes, genotype CHY-1 has shown best performance with respect to flowering weight and vase life.
