flower of India, belonging to family Asteraceae. It is also known
as friendship flower in the United States and represents vulgar
minds. Easy cultivation and wider adaptability of the crop has
increased its popularity . Flowers are sold in the market as loose
flower or for making garlands, offering in temples, churches,
festivals, beautification and landscape. Although marigold is a
very important flower, yet very little research work had been done
towards the crop improvement. It has a lot of variation with
respect to growth and flower characters, which varies with
germplasm. Germplasm serves as valuable natural reservoir in
providing needed attributes for developing successful varieties.
However, the extent of improvement depends upon the amount of
variability in different characters present in the crops, which is
an indispensable prerequisite for successful breeding programmes.
Therefore, selection accordance to high GCV and PCV is more
effective for a particular traits. High heritability alongwith high
genetic advance in per cent of mean provides a best guiding to
formulate effective selection programme.
