Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate fifteen genotypes of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) under Chhattisgarh plains agro-climatic condition for yield attributes and xanthophyll content. Experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Allthe genotypes showed variations for growth and yield parameters. Maximum plant height was recorded in the genotype CGSG-1 at 30 and 60 DAT whereas in genotype CGJS-1 at 90 DAT. Maximum plant spread and primary branches plant−1 was recorded in the genotype CGSG-1. Whereas, maximum number of secondary branches plant−1 at 60 and 90 DAT was recorded in CGRJ-1 Maximum number offlowersplant−1, flower yield plot−1. and flower yield ha−1 was observed in genotype CGSG-1. The highest petal meal yield kg−1 of flower was recorded in Pusa Narangi Gainda whereas, the petal meal yield ha−1was found maximum in genotype CGRJ-2. The genotype CGSG-1 recorded maximum xanthophyll content kg−1 of petal meal and xanthophyll yield ha−1.
