Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out to study the performance of tuberose varieties under agro climatic conditions of Jammu. All the vegetative and flowering parameters differed significantly. In vegetative parameters, highest plant height (25.19 cm), number of leaves (41.11) and plant spread (74.96 cm) was obtained in variety ‘Nirantara’ while maximum leaf width (2.05) and leaf length (43.00 cm) was observed in ‘Suvasini’. In flowering parameters, again variety ‘Nirantara; found superior for spike length (102.78 cm), rachis length (43.89 cm), number of florets (40.61), and number of spikes (5.67) while earliest bud initiation (53.00 days) was recorded in Calcutta Double. Maximum flower diameter (4.93 cm) and floret length (7.03 cm) was observed in ‘Shringar’ and ‘Suvasini’ (7.03 cm), respectively.
