 ABSTRACT

A study was carried out to review on effect of pinching on flower yield of marigold. The number of experiments reviewed that consist of treatments like o pinching, Single pinching, Double pinching. The results showed by different experiment that have maximum plant spread, number of branches, duration of flowering, number of flowers per plant, size of flower, weight of single flower, flower yield per plant and seed yield per plant were observed in the double pinching treatment. The flower yield was maximum in double pinching with three times more yield than the control.

Keywords: Marigold, Pinching, Flowering, Growth and Yield.
