Abstract
An investigation was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with six treatments and four replication. The variety under test was Tropical Red, Flame, Tropical Night, Esmeralda, Acropolis and Condor. The variety Tropical Red recorded maximum plant height(cm), days to first flowering, stalk length(cm), length of spathe(cm), spathe width(cm), diameter of spandix(cm), number of flower per plant and vase life, followed the variety of Condor. The variety of Esmaralda was found least flowers and the highest number of leaves. It was evident from the investigation the Cv. ‘Tropical Red’ had superior performance over all other varieties. The finding of the present investigation can be concluded that different varieties of under-test were significantly varied in their vegetative, floral, yield and post-harvest characters. Variety V1 Tropical Red variety was performed best under this treatment and variety V6 Condor performed best under this treatment. The Tropical Red was also found in the best treatment in Economics Such as Cost of cultivation of Rs 51707, gross return Rs. 115093, Net return of Rs. 63386 and BCR ratio were 2.23.
Keywords: Tropical red, flame, tropical night, Esmeralda, acropolis, condor
