Assessment of Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) Varieties for Morphological Traits

The field experiment was conducted at College of Horticulture Bidar, during the year 2011–12. Significantly highest plant height of 17.60, 29.53, 60.00 and 67.62 cm were recorded in V₇ (Arka Nirantar) followed by V₂ (Pearl Double) 13.30, 24.60, 32.80, 47.73, and 54.34 cm at 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 DAP respectively. Among the different genotypes, highest Number of leaves of 8.67, 19.27, 25.40, 29.40 and 22.13 were recorded in V₆ (Vaibhar) followed by V₁ (Mexican Single) 8.00, 16.27, 25.40, 28.00, and 21.67 at 30, 60, 90, 120 and150 DAP respectively. Lowernumber of leaves were noticed in V₅ (Prajwal) of 6.80, 7.60, 15.40, 23.27 and 22.13 at 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 DAP respectively.
