Abstract: The objective of the present study was to evaluate different African marigold (Tagetes species Linn.) genotypes for vegetative, floral and yield attributes on performance of 8 genotypes under semi-arid climatic conditions of Hyderabad, Telangana condition under the college of Horticulture Mojerla. Experiment was laid out in Randomised block design (RBD) with three replications, at College of Horticulture Mojerla, Sri Konda Laxman Telangana State Horticultural University, Hyderabad, Mojerla during winter season of 2016 – 2017. All the genotypes showed significant variations for growth, flowering and yield parameters. The genotypes T5-Double Orange (81.79 cm) recorded the maximum plant height. Plant spread shows that maximum (N-S) was recorded T1-Arka Agni (48.83 cm). The maximum plant spread in (E-W) was recorded in genotype T1-Arka Agni (52.80 cm). The cultivar recorded the maximum stem girth T4-Erecta Naana Moon Light (5.17 cm). The maximum stem diameter (1.23 cm) was observed in T1-Arka Agni. Numbers of primary branches were maximum T1-Arka Agni (12.40). Secondary branches maximum in T1-Arka Agni (24.13). The genotypes T4-Erecta Naana Moon Light (46.63 days), recorded the least number of days to first flower bud appearance.The genotype T3-Arka Bangara-2 (48.40 days) was earliest in first flower opening. The maximum diameter of flower was recorded in T4-Erecta Naana Moon Light (6.13 cm).
