An experiment entitled “Response of different varieties of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) to different types of pinching” was conducted in naturally ventilated polyhouse, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology And Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with five varieties replicated thrice. The varieties used were White Liberty, Marvellous, Purple Sky, Vanity and Baltico. The results revealed that the variety Baltico was found to be the most promising variety with respect to maximum no. of leaves (165.68), maximum flower diameter (7.42 cm) and maximum vase life (9.56 days). Among pinching, single pinching was found to be the most efficient because the single pinched plants were significantly taller (90.35 cm), bore maximum number of leaves (182.73), maximum plant spread (25.17cm), earliness in bud initiation (91.4 days), maximum flower diameter (7.19 cm), maximum flower stalk length (86.6 cm) and had maximum vase life (8.33). Among interaction, maximum plant height (102.60 cm) was recorded in treatment combination of V4 x P1 (Vanity X single pinching), maximum no. of leaves (194.00) was recorded in V5 x P1 (Baltico X single pinching), maximum flower diameter (8.03 cm) was recorded in V5 X P1 (Baltico X single pinching) and maximum vase life (10.67 days) was recorded in treatment combination of V5 x P1 (Baltico X single pinching).
