In Tamil Nadu, chrysanthemum cultivation under natural conditions begins in June–July, with flowering occurring from November to January. During this peak season, the heavy influx of flowers into the market results in low farm-gate prices, adversely affecting growers’ profitability. To overcome this, a study was conducted at Department of EEE, Er. Perumal Manimekalai College of Engineering, students were asked to shorten the cultivation period and reduce production costs by enhancing vegetative growth through artificial lighting under open field conditions. Chrysanthemum varieties were exposed to supplemental lighting (L1) using 60 W incandescent bulbs for 5 hours daily (5:30 PM–10:30 PM) for 45 days after planting, while control plants (L0) were maintained under natural photoperiod. The trial was laid out in a randomised design with 16 treatments (T1–T16) and three replications. Observations were recorded on growth, flowering, physiological, and yield traits. Results revealed that T2(V1L1– Poornima White with artificial lighting) was the best performer, followed by T8(V2L1– Orange Fair Lady with artificial lighting), whereas T9(V5L0– natural photoperiod) showed the poorest growth and yield. Artificial lighting advanced flowering, reduced crop duration and produced up to a three-fold increase in harvest, demonstrating its potential as a cost-effective strategy for optimising chrysanthemum production under open field conditions.
KEYWORDS
Supplemental artificial lighting (60 W incandescent bulbs) significantly improved growth, flowering, and yield in chrysanthemum under open-field conditions. Varieties under extended photoperiod (L1) outperformed those under natural light (L0), emphasising the importance of photoperiod manipulation. T2 – V1L1 (Poornima White + artificial light) was the top performer, followed by T8– V4L1 (Orange Fair Lady + artificial light). In contrast, T9 – V5L0 (Ball Yellow under natural light) shows the poorest performance, highlighting the role of artificial lighting in optimising chrysanthemum production.
