Floriculture is essentially a science based technology, hence the recent scientific breakthrough is inevitably the most interesting and stimulating. In recent years, there has been rapid growth in the world demand for floricultural products which provide unlimited domestic as well export opportunities but require an innovation for diversified products. In order to achieve this, intensive research work on various aspects of floriculture is being attempted systematically. The present publication is planned to reveal the behaviour of different varieties of tuberose towards flowering for their use as loose and cut flower, concrete and absolute extraction from the flowers for perfumery industry.
