Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate botanical characters and yield of four cultivars of Chrysanthemum morifolium for further study on their genetic diversity and selective breeding.
METHODThe characters were observed and yield was investigated by field randomized block and analysis of variance.
RESULT AND CONCLUSIONThe botanical characters are difference among four cultivars; the amount of single flower head is the main factor influencing on the output of Chrysanthemum morifolium (r = 0.925); the yield of "Hongxinju" and "Xiaobaiju" are remarkably higher than that of "Dabaiju" and "Changbanju".
