Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Thirty one chrysanthemum genotypes were collected from different nurseries of the country and evaluated at the Floriculture field of Horticulture Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during winter season of 2013-2014. There were significant variation among the entries in respect of plant height (35-68 cm), number of flowers per plant (16-80), diameter of flower (2.6-8.5 cm), stalk length (4.2-12.4 cm) and vase life of flowers (4-12 days). Among the genotypes, CM-004, CM-022, CM-023, CM-024, CM-025, CM-026 and CM-027 were found superior for cut flower production as well as CM-009, CM-012, CM-018, CM-019 and CM-021 for pot culture.

Keywords: Chrysanthemum, Cut flower,Vase life

Location: HRC, BARI, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Chrysanthemum

Objectives:

To characterize the different genotypes and to find out the superior genotypes of chrysanthemum.

Methodology:

The experimental materials comprised of thirty one chrysanthemum genotypes, viz. CM-001, CM-002, CM-003, CM-004, CM-005, CM-006, CM-007, CM-008, CM-009, CM-010, CM-011, CM-012, CM-013, CM-014, CM-015, CM-016, CM-017, CM-018, CM-019, CM-020, CM-021, CM-022, CM-023, CM-024, CM-025, CM-026, CM-027, CM-028, CM-029, CM-030 and CM-031. Primarily cuttings were prepared for planting in the sand in mid August, 2013. Immediately after rooting, the mini plantlets were transferred to 12" earthen pot containing media that consists of 50% soil and 50% well rotten cowdung in mid September, 2013. Subsequently 10 g TSP and 6 g MoP per pot were applied. Urea @ 3 and 5 g per pot was applied at 25 and 45 days after transplanting respectively. Uniform cultural practices were carried out throughout the experiment. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. Data were recorded on 5 randomly selected plants for plant height, flower colour, flowers/plant, stalk length, flower diameter, vase life of flower etc. The recorded data were statistically analyzed and treatment means were separated by Least Significant Difference Test according to Steel and Torrie (1960).

Achievement/Findings:

Among the genotypes CM-004, CM-022, CM-023, CM-024, CM-025, CM-026 and CM-027 may be recommended for cut flower production for their long stalk, attractive colour, big flower size and extended vase life; while considering attractive colour, medium plant height, profuse flowering and small flower size, CM-009, CM-012, CM-018, CM-019 and CM-021 may be recommended for pot culture.
