Abstract: An experiment was conducted on the effect of pinching on growth and flower production of marigold at Ground and cover nursery, in the Department of Horticulture, the University of Agriculture Peshawar during autumn 2017. The experiment was conducted in complete randomized design with four repetitions. Marigold was pinched at a different height (0,1foot). Analysis of data revealed that pinching had a significant effect on most of the attributes of marigold. Regarding pinching a maximum number of branches (12.41), days to 50% flowering (54.9), plant height(34.43cm), flower diameter (4.58), stem diameter (0.76cm) and a number of flowers (9.93) was observed in pinched plants. It was concluded from the above results that marigold could be pinched at I feet height for significant growth and flower production.
