Eight cultivars of chrysanthemum namely, Korean hybrid white, Single pink, Spready purple, Korean hybrid yellow, Anemone red, Single red, Reflex light yellow and Single magenda were evaluated for their responses to propagation through soft wood. Studies were carried at University College of Agriculture, Rawalakot during 2001-2002. Among these cultivars Single magenda showed maximum survival percentages (100%). Reflex light yellow and Anemone red presented good survival percentages (83.33%). Single pink showed survival percentages of (75.0). Single red and Korean hybrid white responded equally (66.66). Spready purple and Korean hybrid yellow presented survival percentages of 58.3 and 50.0 respectively. For other growth characteristics Reflex light yellow produced maximum branches (10.66), maximum leaves (206.6) and maximum flowers (58.0) per plant. Keeping in view the survival percentages, vegetative and floral characteristics these cultivars and propagation through soft woodcutting is recommended for general cultivation.
