Evaluation of Adenium obesum for Potted Ornamentals under Soilless Growing System

New multipetalous variety G. Ad.2 in Adenium obesum

“…Thus, variation among different germplasm can be attributed to differences in genetic makeup. These results are in agreement with the earlier observations of Dimmitt (1998) and Varella et al (2015) and Singh et al (2017) in Adenium. Flower size and flower morphology in terms of the number of petals per flowers and flower colour are the important parameters for ornamental pot plants.…”

“…Further, the corolla diameter was non significant during the two years although corolla length (4.03, 4.0,4.01 cm) was maximum in Double Sweet Consumer preference for MSDSH1 was also found to be the highest with maximum score for flower colour (5), flower form (4.65) and overall appeal (4.7) (Fig2). Variation in different floral characters might be owing to the divergence in these germplasm as opined by earlier workers (Singh et al, 2017, Singh et al, 2019. Variation in flower size and the number of flowers per plant in different varieties have been earlier reported in various ornamental pot plants like chrysanthemum (Mohapatra et al, 2000), rose (Shahrin et al, 2015) and Orchids (Sugapriya et al, 2012…”

Evaluation of genetic diversity in pansy accessions (Viola spp.) using growth and flowering traits

“…The marked variations in the plant height of different accessions could be due to inherited characters. Similar variations in plant height, were observed in marigold (Raghuvanshi and Sharma 2011) and in gerbera (Singh et al, 2017).Some accessions of pansy were vigorous in growth and some were less vigorous, owing to genotypic variance in accessions.The plant spread ranged from 42.1 cm to 20.1 cm among different pansy hybrid accessions (Table 1). The data revealed significant difference in plant spread, the accession A-13 registered maximum plant spread (42.1 cm).…”

Impact of Grafting Techniques on Success Rate, Survival and Growth of Different Adenium (Adenium obesum) Scions under Prayagraj Agro-climatic Conditions

“…From the present investigation it was concluded that hybrid Golden Jublee (V 5 ) through flat grafting (G 3 ) was found superior in term of days taken to 1 st sprout [11][12][13], sprouting percentage, number of sprouts and survival percentage and hybrid Cream of My Body (V 2 ) with flat grafting (G 3 ) was found superior in terms of number of leaves, shoot length and stem girth. Hence, hybrids Golden Jublee and Cream of My Body are suitable for propagation through flat grafting under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions.…”
