    Response of time of planting on growth, flowering, spike yield and essential oils in tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) genotypes
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-03) Manpreet Kaur; Beniwal, B.S.
    The present experiment “Response of time of planting on growth, flowering, spike yield and essential oils of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) genotypes” was conducted at Experimental farm of Department of Horticulture and Centre for Bio-Nanotechnology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2019-20 and 2020-21. During the year 2019-20 crop was taken as fresh, while during 2020-21 all the observations were recorded on ratoon crop. Two individual experiments were laid out. In first experiment three time of planting (March, April & May) and six genotypes (Pearl Double, Hyderabad Double, Mexican Single, Prajwal, Suvasini & Vaibhav) were taken, while in second experiment two harvesting stage of florets (Bud burst stage & Fullbloom stage), three planting time and six genotypes were selected. Both the experiments were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The observations were recorded on various growth, flowerings and bulb yield parameters. The Statistical analysis of data of first experiment revealed that better results in terms of growth, flowering, spike yield and bulb yield of tuberose were found in Mexican Single followed by Prajwal when planted in March, while in second experiment highest absolute was recovered from May planted Prajwal genotype when harvested at bud-burst stage during both the years.

    Evaluation of standard and spray chrysanthemum cultivars for cut flower production
    (CCSHAU, 2017) Manpreet Kaur; Dahiya, D.S.
    An experiment was conducted to evaluate fifteen cultivars of chrysanthemum, namely Aparajita, Fortune, Anastasia, Charlia, Vanilla Sorbet, Paladov Sunny, White Double, Braca Splendid, Celtic, Paiwer-W, Paladov Dark, HF-164, Tocovar-6, Papaya, and Cologne during the year 2016-2017 at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The maximum plant height was recorded in cultivar Tocovar-6 (57.93 cm). In cultivar Fortune recorded maximum plant spread (31.86 cm), number of flowers per stem/cut flower (60.34) and flower size (5.73 cm). The maximum number of branches, leaves per plant and average weight was noticed maximum in cultivar Charlia. Early first flowering was observed in the cultivar Paladov Sunny and fifty per cent of flowering in cultivar Paladov Dark. Longest duration of flowering (days) was found in cultivar Celtic. The cultivar Cologne showed maximum fresh weight of flowers. The maximum water absorption, transpiration loss and longest vase life of flower and stem was found in cultivar White Double. Plant height was highly correlated with average weight of flower and vase life of flower and stem. The number of flowers per stem per cut flower was highly correlated with vase life of flower and stem.
