Varying Sowing Time Influences Morphological Attributes of Zinnia Cultivars

Abstract

Zinnias have been cherished by gardeners for many generations, and this enduring fascination has resulted in the development of numerous cultivars encompassing various sizes and plant types. Plants perform differently at different sowing times. The present research was conducted at the horticulture research area, college of Agriculture, University of Sargodha, on zinnia three verities to observe their morphological traits at different sowing times. For this experiment, zinnia verities were sown on three different dates. It was concluded that Zinnia cv Dwarf performed best in plant height, number of flowers, and leaf. While the Zinnia cv Cactus showed bigger flower size and larger leaf area. At all three sowing times, overall first sowing performed best in both verities
