Studies on propagation of different Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) varieties by terminal cuttings

The present investigation was conducted during kharif season of the year 2024–25 under Shade Net House, Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, K.N.K. College of Horticulture, Mandsaur (M.P.). The experiment was evaluated using statistical method Completely Randomized Design with three replication and thirty treatments as varieties. Among the tested varieties, certain genotypes exhibited superior propagation potential under the given environmental conditions and propagation techniques, suggesting their suitability for commercial multiplication. Variety V₃₀ (Pusa Aditya) performed better in respect to survival percentage, length of leaf (cm), average leaf area (cm²). Variety V₂₅ (Pusa Kesari) performed better in respect to number of roots, length of root (cm), fresh and dry weight of root (g), fresh and dry weight of shoot (g) and chlorophyll content (SPAD value). Variety V (Maghi White) performed better in respect to number of leaf. Variety V₂₇ (Pusa Sona) performed better in respect to width of leaf (cm). Variety V₅ (Bidhan Mansi) performed better in respect to girth at collar (mm). Variety V₁₄ (Jambala) performed better in respect to shoot: root (ratio).
