Nees were evaluated to analyse for the magnitude commercial heterosis for economic traits at the Keywords Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture College of Commercial Horticulture Mudigere. Appreciable heterosis was observed for all the heterosis Economic characters and the performance of F1 hybrids was better than top parent. traits China aster Quality Yield The overall maximum positive significant heterosis for yield in terms of number of flowers per plant was observed in Local Pink Local White Article Info Local Violet AAC-1 for cut flowers weight of flowers Accepted per plant PG Violet Arka Poornima for loose flower overcommercial 18 May 2020 heterosis. Negatively heterotic crosses like Local Pink Local Violet - Available Online 10 June 2020 for days to 50 flowering are important to exploit heterosis for earliness in China aster. The F1 hybrids Local Violet x AAC-1 Local Pink Local White and PG Violet Arka Poornima with high yield potential has the potential for commercial cultivation after further evaluation Introduction meaning most beautiful and Stephus a crown is .
