Abstract: The experiment was conducted during rainy season 2010-11 and 2011-12 at Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (Maharashtra), India to study performance of African marigold varieties to cycocel for growth and yield attributes in rainy season. The results of the experiments revealed that significantly, minimum plant height was recorded in Pusa Narangi Gainda (73.65 cm) followed by Pusa Basanti Gainda and African Double Orange. Whereas, among various concentrations cycocel 2000 ppm reported minimum plant height (81.19 cm). Significantly, maximum number of branches plant-1 (31.17) was noticed in African Double Orange and growth regulator cycocel 2000 ppm (33.62). Significantly, maximum plant spread was observed in African Marigold local-01 (50.58 cm ) fallowed by African Double Orange when spayed with cycocel 2000 ppm (47.55 cm). Significantly, maximum fresh and dry biomass was noticed with variety African Marigold Local-1 (471.26 and 94.25g respectively) followed by African Double Orange (296.36g and 59.27g respectively) when sprayed with cycocel 2000 ppm (405 g and 81.17 g respectively). In respect of flowering parameters, significantly minimum days to emergence of flower bud (40.17 days), and days to harvesting (62.14 days) were recorded in var. African Double Orange. Whereas, in treatment control minimum days to emergence of flower bud and flowering (44.83 days and 61.91 days) were noticed. As regards yield attributes, significantly maximum number of flowers plant-1 (35.84), weight of flowers plant-1 (242.65 g) and flower yield ha-1 (17.97 t) were recorded in var. African Double Orange. Among the different concentrations, cycocel 2000 ppm recorded significantly maximum number of flowers plant-1 (36.14), weight of flowers plant-1 (194.69 g) and flower yield ha-1 (14.47 t).
