Evaluation of single type tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L) genotypes for vegetative and bulb attributes in pot culture

Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L) is a species with a high demand as cut as well as loose flower. Present study was conducted to evaluate the vegetative and bulb parameters of potted plant. There were seven genotypes as treatments replicated thrice in a completely randomized design under All India Co-ordinated Research Project at the floriculture farm, ZARS, Ganeshkhind, Pune, Maharashtra during the year 2020-2021. These genotypes were studied for vegetative and bulb characters for ascertaining suitability as potted plant. The results indicated a significant variation among tuberose genotypes for almost all the attributes studied. For vegetative characters, the better performing genotypes were GK-T-E-2, GK-T-S-2 and Arka Sugandhi. GK-T-E-2 performed better for bulbs and bulblets production.
