Abstract

A field study was conceded to assess the morphological and yield contributing characteristics of twenty-seven germplasm of chrysanthemum in Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Gazipur, Bangladesh. The flower color in chrysanthemum were categorized into white, yellow, red, orange, pink, and intermediate colors, and the maximum flower period was observed in germplasms early December-February. The germplasms were observed 25.94% anemone, 3.70% pompon, 3.70% single, 22.22% incurved, 3.70% spider, 18.52% reflexed, 3.70% spoon and 18.52% intermediate type of inflorescence. The plant height, branch number, leaf number, leaf size, flower size and flower production of germplasms were varied from 35 to 75 cm, 4 to 8 plant-1, 210 to 95 plant-1, 5.5 to 12.0 cm, 2.5 cm to 9.0 cm and 28.0 to 210 plant-1. The longest 14 days and 12 days and shortly 5 days were observed in CM-009 and BARI chrysanthemum-2, CM-015, CM-022, CM-023, CM-024, and CM-025 and CM-008, respectively. The high genetic advance were (82.56 and 81.69%), (90.71 and 84.43%), (98.73 and 90.29%) and (93.94 and 92.61%) flower yield, number of flower/plant, flower size, stalk length and vase life of flower (83.66 and 86.50%). The high heritability along with the lowest estimates of genetic advance was found in plant height (80.37 and 35.10%).
