چکیده مقاله :
Marigolds are very common in plant kingdoms used for ornamentation, religious offering, cosmetic production, medicinal purposes, and animal feed. The study was conducted to evaluate four marigold varieties, i.e., ‘Karma Orange’, ‘Karma-I-Orange’, ‘Karma-555-Orange’, and ‘Karma-777-Orange’, for their vegetative, floral, and yield attributes. The experiment was laid out on a Randomized Complete Block Design at three localities of Nepal including Kaski, Kathmandu, and Lalitpur districts and was conducted from August 2019 to January 2020. Data on predetermined parameters were collected and analyzed using R-program (version 4.0.5). The location of the varieties and the interaction between them showed significant variations for almost all parameters. Marigold production was more favorable under the Kaski conditions as plant height, plant spread, number of flowers/plant, and yield were higher than those in other locations. In addition, the number of days taken by marigold varieties for the formation of flower bloom was significantly lower in the Kaski conditions. The variety ‘Karma Orange’ had the maximum height (81.88 ± 5.18 cm), which is very susceptible for lodging, and had the minimum number of flowers (83.2 ± 3.78). The variety ‘Karma-555-Orange’ produced the highest numbers of flowers/plant (104.38 ± 9.46) and had medium-sized flowers with perfect ball shape, which is very suitable for making garlands. However, the variety ‘Karma-777-Orange’ had medium plant height (51.49 ± 2.67), produced not significantly different number of flowers than ‘Karma-555-Orange’ (101.64 ± 6.57) and yield (1.86 ± 0.1 kg/plant). It is suitable for bedding, potting, and cut flower production.
گل جعفری در سلسله گیاهی خیلی معروف است و برای تزیین، مراسم مذهبی، مصرف محلی، اهداف پزشکی و تغذیه دام استفاده میشود. این مطالعه برای ارزیابی چهار واریته کارما اورنج، کارما-I-اورنج، کارما-555-اورنج و کارما-777- اورنج از نظر خصوصیات رویشی، گلدهی و عملکرد انجام شده است. آزمایش بر اساس طرح بلوک کامل تصادفی در سه منطقه کشور نپال شامل کاسکی، کاتماندو و لاتی پور از آگوست 2019 تا ژانویه 2020 پیاده شد. دادهها جمعآوری و بهوسیله برنامه r-پروگرام (نسخه 5-0-4) تجزیه و تحلیل شدند. واریتهها، مناطق و اثر متقابل آنها در تقریبا همه صفات اختلاف معنیدار نشان دادند. تولید گل جعفری در منطقه کاسکی از نظر ارتفاع بوته، پهنای بوته، تعداد گل در گیاه و عملکرد بهتر از مناطق دیگر بود. بعلاوه، در این منطقه، تعداد روز تا اولین غنچه به شکل معنیداری کمتر از مناطق دیگر بود. واریته کارما اورنج بیشترین ارتفاع (18/5 ± 88/81 سانتیمتر) را داشت و به ورس خیلی حساس بود و حداقل تعداد گل (78/3 ± 2/83) را داشت. واریته کارما-555-اورنج بیشترین گل در بوته (46/9 ± 38/104) و اندازه گل متوسطی داشت، شکل گل توپی بود و برای تاج و حلقه گل خیلی مطلوب بود. واریته کارما-777- اورنج ارتفاع متوسط (67/2 ± 49/51 سانتیمتر) داشت و از نظر تعداد گل (57/6 ± 64/101) و عملکرد (1/0 ± 86/1 کیلوگرم در بوته) با واریته کارما-555- اورنج اختلاف معنیداری نداشت. این واریته برای کشت در فضای سبز، گلدان و شاخه بریده ایدهآل است.
