    STATISTICAL STUDIES ON YIELD ATTRIBUTING CHARACTERISTIC OF ROSE (Rosa hybrida L.)
    (NAUNI,UHF, 2020-11) THAKUR, SHIVANI; CHANDEL, ASHU
    ABSTRACT The present study titled “Statistical studies on yield attributing characteristic of Rose (Rosa hybrida L.)” was undertaken in the department of Basic Sciences, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni- Solan 173230 (H.P.) during the year 2019-2020. Secondary data on 12 cultivars with ten characters viz. plant spread (cm), leaf length (cm), number of days taken to flower harvesting stage, stem length (cm), number of petals per flower, petal length (cm), petal width (cm), flower diameter (cm), flower yield (/ m) and vase life (days) for four flushes were taken from the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture. Discriminant analysis were accomplished for classifying the cultivars into high yielder and low yielder cultivars. Eberhart and Russel stability model was applied to identify the stable cultivars among high yielder cultivars. Significant Cultivar × Flush interaction suggested different performance of cultivars among different flushes. Taj Mahal cultivar was stable for plant spread, Gavanna cultivar for leaf length, First Red cultivar for number of days taken to flower harvesting stage, Hollywood and Taj Mahal for number of petals per flower, Gavanna for petal width and First Red and Gavanna for flower diameter. Gavanna was the most stable cultivar for commercially important characters viz. leaf length, petal width and flower diameter.
