dc.description.abstractThe Divine flower Carnation in the modern times has become one of the most important and highly remunerative flower crops grown under polyhouse, occupies an esteem position among top ten flower crops in the International trade mainly for its cut flowers. It is also used for bedding, pots, rock gardens, window boxes and edging. There is always demand for novel types with high yielding genotypes. Hence, the present study was conducted to identify the suitable Carnation genotypes under naturally ventilated polyhouse in hill zone during 2011-12, with respect to yield and quality cut flowers and also to find out the best chemical preservative for enhancing the vase life in the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Horticulture, Mudigere. Among the eight genotypes studied there were wide and highly significant variations observed in performance with respect to growth, floral, cut flower yield and quality parameters. The cv. Soto produced maximum number of quality cut flowers and was found to be significantly superior over others. Dona and White Dona were next superior types. Soto produced the longest stalk length, bigger sized flowers with maximum number of petals whereas; stalk girth was more in White Dona followed by Soto and Dona. The genotype Soto, Golem and White Dona were early in flowering. Most of the morphological parameters viz., plant height, plant spread, number of branches, internodes and leaves; leaf length and width, leaf area, dry matter production, chlorophyll content etc., were found superior in cv. Soto followed by White Dona, Dona and Harish. The genotype ‘Soto’ realized maximum net return and B:C ratio ( 3,50,483; 2.50) in 560m2 area followed by Dona ( 2,80,343; 2.00, respectively) and White Dona ( 2,59,343;1.85) compared to other genotypes studied. In the vase life study, among the chemical preservatives (viz., citric acid, cobalt chloride and 8-HQS) tried, citric acid @ 200ppm recorded maximum vase life of Carnation (12 days) followed by citric acid @ 150 ppm (11 days ).en_US
