Performance of Rosy Adenium (Adenium obesum) Genotype under Prayagraj Agro-Climatic Conditions

Aim: The experiment was conducted in the Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Science, Prayagraj, during 2023-2024.

Study Design: The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD).

Methodology: 10 Rosy adenium genotypes and each genotype was replicated 3 times. The different genotypes used in the experiment were R4, R5, R23, R33, R35, R53, R73, R124, R163, R169.

Results: The result obtained showed that the genotype R73 showed significantly higher performance in parameters like plant height, caudex diameter, graft length, graft diameter, days taken to bud initiation, number of petals per flower, flower diameter, self-life and which was found to be at par with genotype R33 in plant height, caudex diameter, graft length, graft diameter, days taken to bud initiation, number of petals per flower, flower diameter, self-life.

Conclusion: Hence, genotype R73 and R33 is excellent in terms of performance and plant growth under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions.
