Abstract
The present investigation entitled, “Impact of planting time on the performance of Lilium cultivars
under western Haryana” was carried out under polyhouse conditions during the year 2016-17 and
2017-18 at Farmer Field in village Bugana of district Hisar (Haryana). The experiment was laid out in a
Randomized Block Design (factorial) consisting of 35 treatment combinations of five planting dates
viz., 13th October, 20th October, 27th October, 3rd November, 10th November and seven genotypes
namely „Cab Dazzle‟, „Richmond‟, „Nello‟, „Tresor‟, „Litouwen‟, „All Choice‟ and „Arbatax‟. Among
different planting dates, 20th October- D2 gave best results for plant height (108.71 cm), stem length
(76.98 cm), stem diameter (8.45 mm), number of leaves per plant (71.68) and number of flower buds
per plant (3.65). However, 13th October- D1 gave best results for days to bulbs sprouting (6.98),
Number of bulbs per plant (1.19), weight of bubs per plant (35.13 g) and benefit to cost (1.53). Among
the genotypes, Tresor- G4 gave best results for plant height (111.42 cm), stem length (80.38 cm), stem
diameter (9.15 mm), number of leaves per plant (98.79) and number of flower buds per plant (4.46) and
benefit to cost (1.43). However, All Choice- G6 gave best results for length of leaves (13.52 cm) and
width of leaves (3.15 cm). Hence, it is concluded that planting of lilium on 20th October- D2 gave best
results for most of the desirable growth and flowering parameters especially in Tresor- G4 genotype.
