Abstract:
Studies were carried out at the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research.
Bangalore, during 1980-81 and 1981-82 under irrigated conditions on growth and
productivity of pink'and white types of periwinkle propagated through seeds and
cuttings. It was observed that pink type produced more root, leaf and stem yields
than white type as a result of higher dry matter production and distribution and
increased photosynthetic surface and efficiency. Method of propagation had no
significant effect on growth and productivity of periwinkle and plants propagated
through seeds and cuttings were equally good.
