Abstract	A field experiment entitled “Comparative performance of marigold hybrids (Tagetes erecta L.) in different planting dates” was undertaken with the objectives to find out the optimum planting date and hybrid variety suitable for Assam condition. To achieve these objectives, three different planting dates (November, December and January) and eight different marigold hybrid varieties (Inca Yellow, Inca Orange, Vanilla, African Double Orange, Purple, Inca Gold, Maxima and Divya) were considered and the trial was carried out at the Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University during 2019-2020. Different characters relating to growth, flower and physiological characters were assessed to find out the suitable planting date and hybrid variety for Assam condition. The Inca Orange variety exhibited superior performance in respect to both vegetative and floral characters which was followed by Inca Yellow and Inca Gold. The performance of varieties was also compared in different planting dates and found the November planted crop exhibited superior performance.
