The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of different hybrids for growth, yield, and quality of flowers of Dahlia (Dahlia variabilis L.) under Allahabad Agro-climatic conditions” was undertaken at Department of Horticulture, during the year 2015-16. The experiment was laid out in simple randomized block design with three replication and nine treatments with a view to find out the overall evaluation of different hybrids of dahlia viz. Sourave, Puesona, Baba borakanakeari, Sahani, Indira, Romia, Devdas, Mohini, Bamakhefa, on the basis of different growth, yield and tuberous parameters. Maximum plant height (69.17 cm) was recorded with hybrids Baba borakhenkeari. Maximum number of leaves per plant (38.68) was observed in hybrid Indira. Maximum plant spread (59.51 cm) was recorded in hybrid Puesona. Maximum number of primary branches per plant (7.64) was found with hybrid Sourave. Maximum weight of single tuber (152.80 g) was found in hybrid Sourave. Maximum numbers of tuber per plant (10.04) was found in hybrid Sourave. Maximum yield of tuber per plant (279.39 g) were found in hybrid Sourave. Maximum tuber yields (11.05 t/ha) was found in hybrid Sourave. Maximum benefit cost ratios (1: 3.57) was found in hybrid Sourave.
