Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to evaluate and commercialize the African marigold (Tagetus erecta L.) genotypes for UKP command area in Karnataka†for two seasons during Kharif (2015-16) and Summer (2016-17) at college of Agriculture, bheemarayanagudi of Yadgir dist. The results reveals that, among the different genotypes, mean plant height was significantly varied among the varieties in season-I and season-II. The maximum plant height was recorded in cv. Maxima yellow (66.14 cm and 52.26 cm) and it was followed by cv. Arka Bangara-2 (58.17cm and 50.21cm), and least was recorded in cv. Raichur local (46.97 cm) and cv. Arka Bangara (37.85 cm), maximum mean plant spread was recorded in cv. Maxima yellow (2452.80 cm2 and 1670.33 cm2 respectively) followed by cv. Arka Bangara-2 (2280.90 cm2 and 1670.23 cm2 respectively), Whereas, the least plant spread recorded was in cv. Raichur local (1593.53 cm2 and 1021.67 cm2 respectively) and maximum number of secondary branches per plant was noticed in Arka Bangara-2 (22.69 and 19.00) followed by Arka Agni (17.62 and 14.41) and least number of secondary branches found in Bhuvan Orange (11.81) and Arka Bangara (10.48) in karif and summer the season respectively.
