Tuberose (Agave amica sync. Polianthes tuberosa) is a popular flower used as a cut and loose flower. The present experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications at ICAR- Directorate of Floricultural Research, Pune, Maharashtra during 2020-2021 to evaluate the performance of fourteen single-type tuberoses for Pune agro-climatic conditions. Among the fourteen varieties of tuberose, early spike emergence and minimum days required for spike emergence were recorded in Bidhan Snigdha., whereas the maximum no. of florets per spike and number of florets per spike was recorded in variety GKTC-4. Furthermore, individual floret parameters like floret weight and diameter were recorded as highest in the Prajwal variety. Bidhan Snigdha recorded the highest Rachis length and length of floret. Prajwal recorded the highest loose flower yield per ha. Area.
