Abstract

An experiment to ascertain the performance of different varieties of bougainvillea (Bougainvillea glabra Choisy) propagated through hardwood cuttings under 50% shadenet house conditions was carried out from February to July, 2022, in the Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology And Sciences SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design (CRD), with fourteen different bougainvillea varieties, replicated thrice. Among the different varieties of bougainvillea, variety Isbel Green Smith recorded minimum days taken to first sprouting (10 days) and days taken to 50% sprouting (10.3 days), variety Joe de Libra recorded maximum sprouting percentage (96.7%) and success rate (96.7%). Length of first shoot/cutting (3.8 cm) and number of leaves/cutting (58.9) were recorded in variety Shubra, whereas, variety Chandraberi recorded maximum girth of first branch (4.4 cm).
