Abstract
Growth and yield of twenty varieties of marigold were evaluated at Agricultural Innovation and Management Division, Faculty of Natural Resources, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai district, Songkhla province during February and June 2018. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 4 replications. The aim of this study was to select suitable varieties for commercial growing in Songkhla province and nearby areas. It was found that all of marigold varieties had a survival rate higher than 80% at 30 days after transplanting with good vegetative growth performances and high flower yield ranging from 121,174.85-193,886.87 flowers/ rai. Moreover, the results revealed that varieties TLG 5011 F1, Sri siam gold, F1 Noppakun gold, Cana gold extra and Tongtep 05 tolerated to diseases and had the number of flowers ranging from 158,579.76-189,824.60 flowers/ rai, flower size at 3.52-8.62 cm in diameter, prolong vase life of marigold for 6.00-9.25 days and yellow - orange color which are marketable in Hat Yai district, Songkhla province.
