    EVALUATION OF GERBERA (Gerbera jamesonii, HOOK) CULTIVARS UNDER PROTECTED CULTIVATION.
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2002) Manjunath, H K; Satyanarayana Reddy, B
    "An attempt has been made on ""Evaluation of Gerbera [Gerbera jamesonii, HOOK.) Ciiltivars Under Protected Cultivation"" for the period from September 2000 to May 2001 in the polyhouse. The experiment was laid in randomized block design with three replications and eleven cultivars as treatments. The gerbera cultivars have shown significant variations for growth, yield and quality. ^ Cultivars Sangria, Kabana, Marisol and Tamra were superior with respect to growth parameters like plant height, plant spread, sucker, leaf area and leaf production. Cultivars Sangria and Kabana recorded hundred per cent establishment. Cultivars Sangria and Kabana were early to initiate flowers. The stalk length was maximum in cultivars Sangria, Kabana Marisol and Tamra. Stalk girth was also maximum in cultivars Sangria, Kabana and Marist'.. Cultivar Sangria recorded maximum flower diameter, diameter of disc and also with respect to length of ray florets. In general high quality flowers were obtained in cultivars Sangria, Kabana, Marisol and Tamra. With respect to yield, cultivars Sangria, Kabana, Marisol and Tamra were superior by producing maximum number of flowers per plant compared to other cultivars. Cultivars Sangria, Kabana, Marisol and Tamra have emerged as promising cultivars with respect to growth, flowering, flower yield and quality and can be recommended for commercial cultivation."

    EFFECT OF DATES OF PLANTING ON GROWTH AND FLOWERING OF CHINA ASTER (Callistephus chinensis Nees.)
    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2001) Nagaraju; Satyanarayana Reddy, B
    "China aster is an important annual commercial flower crop grown for its flowers. As a cut flower it is used for interior decoration and as a loose flower used for worshipping, garland preparation and hair decoration by woman and as a whole plant for herbaceous borders and for growing in flower beds in gardens. An investigation to study the effect of different dates of planting on growth and flowering of China aster {Callistephus chinensis Nees.) cv. Kamini, was carried out during 2000-2001 at farmers field near Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi. Dates of planting had a significant influence on growth parameters. The plants of May planting followed by those of October planting expressed better vegetative growth in terms of plant height, girth, number of branches and leaves. Further, these plants had comparatively longer flowering duration as compared to the plants of August and July plantings which flowered early and had shorter flowering duration. Yield and quality parameters were also significantly influenced by dates of planting. Among different dates of planting. May planting followed by October and June plantings produced higher quality flowers as compared to August, September and July plantings."

    STANDARDIZATION OF DRYING TECHNIQUES IN CARNATION FOR VALUE ADDITION
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, DHARWAD, 2003) Patil, Kshama V; Gandadharappa, P M
    "Experiments were carried out at Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture Arabhavi on drying of cut carnation flowers for obtaining best quality dry carnation flowers .Data on shade drying of flowers harvested at different stages viz., paintbrush, cross bud and open embedded in two different desiccants (sand, silicagel) revealed that desiccating the open flowers in silicagel was superior with respect to colour euid texture. While drying cross bud flowers was best with respect to shape and appearance. Less number of days (6.13) were required to dry open flowers than paintbrush stage flowers (8.97days). Silicagel desiccated the flowers faster (5.4 days) than sand (10.06 days). Experiment on glycerol pretreatment showed improvement in suppleness of dried carnation flowers. The flowers treated with 1:1 glycerol to water for 12 hours maintained best texture, colour, shape and appearance and was on par with the flowers treated with 1:5 glycerol to water for 24 hours In the hot air oven, cross-bud stage flowers could be dried well at 40°C for 89.25 hours with sand desiccant. While in the microwave, drying at medium low level for 2.5 minutes and then at low level for 3.5 minutes produced the best quality dried flowers when silicagel was used as desiccant. Data on comparison of different drying methods viz., shade, sun, oven and microwave along with the two desiccants (sand and silicagel) revealed that drying cross bud flowers in shade for 164.67 hours and in hot air oven at 40°C for 68 hours by embedding in silicagel can produce best quality dried carnation flowers with respect to colour, shape, appearance and texture. Microwave drying of flowers in either of the desiccants performed poorly inspite of retaining the highest anthocyanin content (40.60%)."
