Type: article
Abstract: The study titled on "Effect of different plant spacing and time of pinching on yield of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium L.) cv.Ratlam Selection" was conducted during August, 2023 to January, 2024 at Flower and Ornamental Nursery, College of Horticulture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat.The experimental material comprised of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium L.) cv.Ratlam Selection.The experiment was employed a Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications.It involved two factors viz., four spacing viz., S0 (45 × 30 cm), S1 (45 × 45 cm), S2 (60 × 45 cm) and S3 (60 × 60 cm) and three pinching levels viz., P0 (No pinching), P1 (Pinching at 30 DATP) and P2 (Pinching at 45 DATP).It was recorded that wider spacing found maximum flower diameter, fresh weight, number of flowers per plant, flowering duration and flower yield per plant.Whereas, closer spacing and pinching at 30 DATP recorded maximum flower yield per hectare.
