Abstract: Marigold species are famous around the world and grown for its different purpose like beautification, to extract pharmaceuticals products, loose flowers, and cut as well. Among the many species of marigold Tagetes erecta L. is one of the famous species grown in Nepal. Pinching in marigold is a process of increase in flower yield through the diversion of energy through breaking apical dominance in plants. Pinching increases the flower yield (96.78 q/ha) compared to non-pinching (68.78 q/ha) (Rathore et al., 2011) in marigold.
