| dc.description.abstract | Gerbera is one of the important commercial cut flower crops. It is one among the top ten cut flower of the world flower trade. There is always demand for novel types with high yielding genotypes. Hence, the present study was conducted to identify the suitable gerbera genotypes under naturally ventilated polyhouse in hill zone, with respect to yield and quality cut flowers and also to find out the best chemical preservative for enhancing the vase life of gerbera cut flowers in the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Horticulture, Mudigere. Among the ten genotypes studied there were wide and highly significant variations observed for various growth, floral, cut flower yield and quality parameters. The genotype Naike (38.01) produced maximum number of quality cut flowers and was statistically on par with Kyllian (36.94) and significantly superior over other genotypes. The genotype Amlet produced the longest stalk length, bigger sized flowers were produced by Kyllian and Vilassar and the genotype Elite Produced maximum number of ray florets compare to other genotypes. The vegetative parameters like number of leaves per plant, suckers production and total leaf chlorophyll content was maximum in the genotype Naike, where as plant spread, leaf area and leaf area index were maximum in the genotype Amelie. The genotype ‘Naike’ realized maximum net return of 2,39,894 in 560 m2 area with a B:C ratio of 2.35 followed by Kyllian ( 2,30,294; 2.25, respectively) and Amlet ( 2,20,754; 2.16, respectively) compared to other genotypes studied. The vase life study was carried out with the genotype ‘Naike’ which had less lasting ability (5.55 days) in tap water. Among the chemical preservatives (viz., citric acid, cobalt chloride and 8-HQS) tried, citric acid @ 200ppm recorded maximum vase life of gerbera (9.16 days) followed by citric acid @ 150 ppm ( 8.45 days ) and cobalt chloride @ 200 ppm (8.31 days). | en_US |
