Experiment Title Testing of new genotype of tuberose for cut flowers
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. Recently, BCKV, Kalyani (West Bengal) developed double type variety of tuberose which may be suitable for cut flower production and other uses for the South Gujarat. Therefore, the present experiment is designed to test newly developed genotype of tuberose for cut flower production in the region under AICRP.
