 ABSTRACT

The present investigation entitled “Effect of cycocel on varieties of Chrysanthemum for growth, flower yield and quality” was conducted during July, 2016 to February, 2017 in the Farm of Maharaj Bag garden, Horticulture Section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with four varieties (Pandhari Rewadi, Shinaton, Piwali Rewadi and Brown) and with four treatment i.e control, cycocel at 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm and 3000 ppm with sixteen treatment combinations replicated thrice. The result reveled that among the different varieties the minimum plant height (cm), maximum number of branches plant-1 and maximum plant spread were recorded with the variety Brown. Whereas, maximum stem diameter (cm) was recorded with the variety Pandhari Rewadi. Among the different cycocel treatments, minimum plant height, maximum number of branches plant-1, spread of plant (cm) and stem diameter were noticed with cycocel at 3000 ppm was recorded when sprayed at 30 and 60 days after transplanting. The yield and yield contributing characters viz., number of flowers plant-1, maximum flower yield plant-1, maximum flower yield plot-1 and yield ha-1 were recorded with the treatment combination of the variety Brown sprayed with cycocel 3000 ppm.

Key words: Chrysanthemum, Cycocel, Growth and Yield
