Abstract

The present investigation on “studies on the effect of growing conditions on growth, flowering of calla lily (Zantedeschia spp.) cultivars” was under taken to determine the best treatment. In this experiment three cultivars were grown under different growing conditions in completely randomized design with factorial concept with nine treatments and three replications during 2021-22 & 2022-23. From the results, it was observed that the maximum plant height at 30, 60 & 90 days after planting (37.46 cm, 51.00 cm & 63.63 cm), minimum days to first flower (62.61 days), stalk length (43.57 cm), stalk diameter (5.87 mm), spathe width (4.89 cm), spadix length (4.91 cm). Whereas, maximum spathe length (12.79 cm) was observed in cv. Piccaso under shade net condition.

Keywords

Conclusion

Based on the above findings among the interactions in the pooled data cv. Captain murano grown under shade net had performed better with respect to growth and flowering parameters.
