A Note on Flower Development in Garland Chrysanthemum {Chrysanthemum coronarium L.)

摘要

Seasonal flower crops are very handy to a floriculturist because they produce greater economical yield within a shorter period of time. Annual chrysanthemums, categorized under seasonal flower crops include several species. One such species is Chrysanthemum coronarium. It is commonly called as garland chrysanthemum. It is recently catching up in restricted local markets in our country, supplementing the production of florist chrysanthemum. The crop has been naturalized and locally called 'Bijli' in Nagpur (Meshram et ai, 2008), 'Baboona' in Haryana (Mishrae/a/., 2002) 'Guldhak' in Punjab, 'Market' in Delhi and 'Gendi' in Uttar Pradesh area (Arora, 1990).
