EVALUATION OF ASIATIC LILY (LILIUM SP.) VARIETIES UNDER SHADE NET IN AGROCLIMATIC CONDITION IN BANDA DISTRICT OF BUNDELKHAND REGIONS

In the current study, "Varietal evaluation of Asiatic Lily (Lilium sp.) varieties under shade net in agroclimatic condition in Banda district of Bundelkhand regions," the under-shade net house at Hi Tech Nursery, College of Horticulture, Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology Banda 210001, was performed.Finding the best cultivar and growing conditions for lithium in terms of flowering, bulb, post-harvest and vase life output is the goal for 2023-2024.Using a Randomized Block Design, the experiment was set up with three replications.Ten Asiatic hybrid lily cultivars scored well on floral parameters, bulb output, post-harvest, and vase life, according to the study's findings.According to the parameters, the Asiatic lily variety Colares (V3) was found to be the best.Number of flower bud per plant (5.53), length of flower (11.53 cm), flower stalk length (7.82 cm), water uptake (78.33 ml).The variety was found to be early Brindisi (V 4 ) as it took least days to first flower opening after planting of bulbs (66.00 days), day to first harvest (64.33 days).Pavia (V 7 ) was observed to be the best for flower yield per plant (67.31 g), fresh weight of flower bud (9.52 g).Nashville (V 5 ) was found to be the most effective for flower bud width (28.10 cm).Albufeira (V 2 ) was found to be the most suitable for weight of bulb per plant (57.50 g).Brunello (V 10 ) was noted to be the most effective for vase life (16.00days).Therefore, it can be said that the most promising variety that can be successfully grown in the Banda district is var.Colares (V3).
