Experiment Title Testing of genotypes in tuberose for cut flower
Research Type AICRP Research
Experiment Background Tuberose is an important bulbous ornamental plant known for its beauty, elegance and fragrance. It is also known as Rajnigandha, Gul-e-chari and Nishigandha belongs to the family Asparagaceae. It has gained considerable importance and is cultivated commercially for its varied uses. It is used not only as cut flower, loose flower for making garlands, bracelets, veni but also for extraction of valuable essential oil through highly fragrant florets. Agro climatic condition of the south Gujarat is more favourable for tuberose cultivation and productivity can be enhanced significantly by adopting most suitable new varieties for the zone. The farmers of the Gujarat are growing old varieties of tuberose. Recently, BCKV, Kalyani (West Bengal) developed double type varieties of tuberose which may be suitable for cut flower production and other uses. Therefore, the present experiment was designed to test newly developed genotypes of tuberose for cut flower production in the region.
