Phytomorphology of Callistephus chinensis as Influenced by Differential Planting Geometry, Pinching and Compound Nutrient Sprays

Effect of Pinching on Yield and Yield Attributing Characteristics of Marigold (Tagetes Erecta L.): A Review

“…In marigold cv. Orange double, the increase in the number of flowers per plant was reported when pinched (61.9) than non-pinched (50.6) by reported that double pinching increase flower per plant three times than non-pinching in marigold (Sunitha et al, 2007;Rajyalakshim and Rajashikhar, 2014;Prakash et al, 2016;Khan et al, 2018). A reported in African marigold cv .…”

“…The findings of suggest that there are no effects of pinching in 50% flowering in marigold but due to the pinching, the emergence of new branches takes time to enter reproductive phase which affects the maximum number of days to take 50% flowering was in pinched plants (54.99 days) while it was minimum in un-pinched plants (50.56 days) (Khan et al, 2018;Sehrawat et al, 2003).…”

“…Pinching at the visible bud stage is found to improve the plant spread (37.73 cm) (Wani et al, 2018). Plant spread maintains air circulation & sunlight inside plant bush and protects plant form insect and disease infestation.…”

“…The plants of Tagetes erecta are tall in nature and depending on species it varies from 0.1 to 2.2 m and are erect consist of many branching, flower size is large and various in colors depending on varieties (Khan et al, 2018). Flower colors are yellow and orange in various shades such as light yellow, golden yellow, bright yellow, deep orange and bright orange (Singh et al, 2019).…”

Response of China aster to Bio-inoculant Amendments under Pot Experiment

“…Cassini described the China aster as Callistephus hortensis. It was first named by Linnaeus as Aster chinensis, and Nees subsequently changed this name to Callistephus chinensis [3]. China aster plants range in height from 15 cm to about 1.0 m with pompon flowers about the size of a button to large flower heads having single, double, anemone-flowered, peonyflowered, incurved, quilled or shaggy flower types.…”
