growth, dry matter accumulation and its partitioning to different plant
parts were studied in two cultivars of African marigold (Tagetes erecta
) and three cultivars of French marigold (Tagetes patula ). The
cultivars of both African and French types differed significantly in dry
matter production. In the African type, Golden Age recorded higher dry
matter, while in the French type the maximum dry matter was accumulated
by the Harvest Moon cultivar. The difference in the total yield is
attributed to the variation in the growth components. |
