Abstract

The present investigation entitled, Evaluation of Different Dahlia (Dahlia variabilis L.)  Hybrids for Better Growth and Yield of Flowers under Prayagraj Agro Climatic Conditions was under taken in the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, U.P. during winter season (2022 to 2023). The experiment was laid out with nine hybrids each replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. Among the nine hybrids, hybrid Eternity (H2) reported significantly better performance in terms of plant growth parameters like plant height (89.93 cm), number of leaves per plant (133.87), number of branches per plant (11.53), average length of branches (59.67 cm) and stem diameter (2.61 cm). Whereas in terms of Yield parameters, hybrid Chandra Vaga (H7) reported significantly better performance like number of flowers per plant (20.30), number of flowers per plot (121.80), flower yield per ha (73,08,000).
