The field experiment carried out in chrysanthemum (cv. Chandrika) nursery 10 at College of Horticulture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri 2020-21 under polytunnel conditions during 2020-21 revealed that exposing chrysanthemum plants to darkness for 180 minutes using 90 per cent black shed net, showed promising results in increasing plant spread, number of branches, average leaf area, leaf area index, days required for 50 per cent flowering, flower diameter, length of flower stalk and the flower yield parameters, respectively. The shelf life of chrysanthemum flowers was extended by 24.84 days at 2°C temperature level.
