Abstract

The study was carried out on 30 genotypes of Chrysanthemum in Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2019-2020. The results of the study revealed that among 30 genotypes, three genotypes were found dwarf (<30cm), twelve medium (30-40 cm) and fifteen were tall (>40cm). Similarly, plant spread in twelve genotypes was less (<25 cm), medium (25-35cm) in eleven and more (>35cm) in seven genotypes. Stem diameter was found less (<0.5 cm) in ten genotypes, medium (0.5 to 1.0cm) in eighteen and more (>1.0cm) in two genotypes. The stalk length was found small (< 5cm) in five genotypes, medium (5-10 cm) in twenty one and big (>10 cm) in four genotypes. Number of primary branches per plant was found less (<5) in five, medium (5-10) in fifteen and more (>10) in ten genotypes. Fresh weight of plant was found less (<150 g) in seven, medium (150-300g) in sixteen and more (>330 g) in seven genotypes. Dry weight of plant was found less (<50g) in four, medium (50-10
