Abstract: An experiment was conducted to evaluate ten varieties of gerbera for growth and flowering and yield under different growing structure, the experiment was laid out in FRBD design with 10 treatments and each treatment was replicated thrice. The maximum plant height and sucker per plant was recorded in Bonnie and Rosella under polyhouse condition, Cultivar Sciella (42.72 days) shows early bud initiation under shade house, Early 50 per cent bud initiation was observed in Cultivars Bonnie, Ambra and Sciella (77.25, 78.05 and 79.89 days) Cultivar Carocci in polyhouse condition and Sciella in shade house took minimum days of 17.00 days for full flower development. Cultivation Cassiana blooms low flower (5.11) under shade house. The above mentioned findings indicated that considering the important characteristics, Cultivars Bonnie, Ambra and Sciella is the best variety having early flowering along with good yield under both polyhouse and shade house conditions.
