Abstract: The present investigation on “Study the performance of tuberose genotypes for twenty-two characters on tuberose germplasm materials twenty-two diverse genotypes of tuberose at the Horticultural Research Centre at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, during 2015-2016. Experimental were evaluated at Material was grown in randomized block design with row to row and plant to plant spacing of 30 cm and 20 cm, respectively. The observations on five randomly selected plants from each genotype in each replication were recorded for the characters viz., days taken to sprouting, plant height, number of leaves per plant, length of longest leaf, width of longest leaf, number of sprouts per bulbs, days required for visibility of first spike, days taken to opening of first flower, number of florets per spike, diameter of flower, number of spike per bulb, diameter of spike, length of spike, length of rachis, longevity of spike, vase life, number of bulbs per plant, number of bulblets per plant, yield of bulb per plant, diameter of bulb, yield of bulb and bulblets per plant and yield of bulb. All cultivars indicated wide range of variation with respect to yield of bulb per plant, the maximum number yield of bulb were found in cultivar Phulerajani (403.92) gm followed by ArkaNirantra (394.65) gm bulbs and the minimum number of yield of bulbs per plant were found in cultivar Pragyaculum (178.61). The grand mean value of this character was (296.74) gm bulbs per plant.
