Abstract

The present investigation entitled Performance of different varieties of jasmine (Jasminum sambac) under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions. was undertaken in the Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology And Sciences, Prayagraj, during August, 2021 to October, 2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 07 varieties, replicated thrice. The variety V4 (U.P. Local) performed significantly better for all the growth parameters like plant height (95.57 cm), number of leaves (118.50), plant spread (60.45 cm), and number of branches (24.50). Variety V5 (Gundumalli) was found superior in terms of bud diameter (24.83 mm), shelf life (5.58 days), average flower bud weight (0.75 g), flower yield per plant (1.46 kg), flower yield per hectare (58.4 q), and benefit cost ratio (4.15) ). So this variety can be used for better quality, flower yield and benefit cost ratio. Hence the variety V5 (Gundumalli) can be recommended for commercial cultivation under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions.
