    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2020-11-28) Tiwari, Adarsh; Kumar Singh, Ajay
    The present investigation entitled "Varietal evaluation of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) under Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh" was conducted at the Instructional Farm of Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh during the year 2019-2020 with six genotypes i.e. Pusa Basanti Gainda, Pusa Narangi Gainda, Bidhan Marigold-2, NS-104, NS-66, NS-119 in Randomized Block Design with three replication. During the experiment, plant height, plant spread, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, days to first flower bud appearance, days to appearance of first flowering, days to 50% flowering, duration of flowering, flower diameter, flower weight, number of flowers per plant, shelf life of flower, peduncle length, flower yield per plant, flower yield per plot, flower yield per hectare and cost benefit ratio were studied. All of the genotypes showed significant variation for growth, flowering and yield character. Maximum plant height (50.53 cm) and secondary branches per plant (50.13) were found in Pusa Basanti Gainda. Significantly maximum plant spread (50.76 cm), number of primary branches per plant (9.26), maximum flower diameter (8.65 cm) and highest peduncle length (6.92) were recorded in NS-104. Earliest first flower bud appearance (70.73 days), fifty percent flowering (123.86 days), minimum days to first flowering (96.86 days) and maximum number of flowers per plant (88.16) were found in variety Pusa Narangi Gainda. Maximum flower weight per plant (11.96 g), longest duration of flowering (85.90 days), longest shelf life (14.93 days), flower yield per plant (949.33 g), flower yield per plot (15.18 Kg), maximum flower yield per hectare (46.80 t), maximum gross return (Rs 5,61,600 per hectare) and net return (Rs 3,88,655.68 per hectare) were recorded in Bidhan Marigold-2. On the basis of the findings of present study, this may be concluded that variety Bidhan Marigold-2 and NS- 104 has performed best for higher loose flower yield, longest shelf life, maximum flower weight, maximum flower diameter and longest duration of flowering whereas variety Pusa Narangi Gainda and NS-104 has performed best for flower earliness and more numbers of flowers per plant. These varieties can be recommended for commercial production in Bundelkhand region for higher yield and other important flower yield attributes.
