Evaluation of gerbera genotypes for growth, yield and flower quality under subtropical conditions of Jammu

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of seventeen genotypes gerbera, viz., Bonmare, Palmbeach, Romella, Natasha, Toro Rosso, Bubblegum, Esmara, Marinilla, Rionegro, Havana, Lexington, Vilassar, Amlet, Nigella, Silky Tears, Fahrenheit and Sona under naurally ventilated polyhouse in Jammu subtropics. The performed Completely Randomized Block Design replicated three times. Among considered, there significant difference terms vegetative growth, floral characteristics yield. maximum plant height (30 cm) number leaves (10), spread characters were found geneotype ‘Toro Rosso’. Moreover, Maximum flowering duration 14.67 days recorded genotype ‘Rionegro’, whereas vase life 10 as also Rionegro’.
