Abstract
Gerbera hybrids (Arka Ashwa and Arka Nesara), were developed through hybridization using half-sib method of breeding where superior lines, IIHR-3 and IIHR-1, were crossed with pollen mixed from different varieties. These hybrids were evaluated for flower quality traits for two years under naturally-ventilated polyhouse. Both have novel flower colour with double type of flowers. These are suitable for cut flower and flower arrangement purposes.Downloads
