Abstract:
Marigold is one of the most important commercially grown loose flower crops in India. It is used as loose flower or to make garlands, which are extensively used in the religious and social functions. Marigold is broadly classified into two groups, viz., African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) and French marigold (Tagetes patula L.). About 342000 ha of area is under floriculture producing 1760000 MT of loose flowers and 769000 MT of cut flowers annually (2017-18 advanced estimates). In order to sustain the growth the floriculture sector must constantly innovate to produce novel products. To meet the objective RBD and CACP tools were used for data analysis. The result shows the T7 perform better in both way i.e. growth aspects as well as economically.
