Abstract: The experiment was carried out at field of Department of floriculture and landscaping, Dr. PDKV, Akola during academic year 2023-2024.Experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with nine treatments (20×20 cm, 20×30 cm, 20×40 cm, 30×20 cm, 30×30 cm, 30×40 cm, 40×20 cm, 40×30 cm and 40×40 cm) and replicated thrice.The result revealed that spacing had significant effect on growth and yield of Daisy.Closer spacing 20 x 20 cm recorded maximum plant height at 30 (11.80 cm), 60 (41.13 cm), 90 (66.18 cm), 120 (85.15 cm) and 150 (97.00 cm) DAP.While, number of leaves per plant (17.17, 38.63, 77.25, 152.33 and 289.67) at 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 DAP respectively.Number of suckers per plant (9.90, 18.11, 23.11, 28.11 and 33.11) at 60, 120, 180, 240 and 300 DAP respectively was recorded maximum in treatment T 1 with spacing 20 x 20 cm.Maximum plant spread (42.02 cm), leaf area per leaf (26.04 cm 2 ) and leaf area per plant (2009.85cm 2 ) was recorded in T 9 with spacing 40 x 40 cm which was at par with spacing 30 x 30 cm, 30 x 40 cm and 40 x 30 cm.In respect of yield maximum number of spikes per ha up to 365 days from the first harvesting of spike (i.e., 6040111.68) was recorded in treatment T 1 with spacing 20 x 20 cm and minimum number of spike ha (i.e., 2013263.10) was recorded in treatment T 9 with spacing 40 x 40 cm.
