Abstract: The present investigation for storage study of different genotypes of gaillardia (Gaillardia pulchella L.) was carried out during the year 2015-2016 at College of Agriculture, Pune. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with forty genotypes and two replications. Significantly maximum vase life of cut flowers was recorded in the genotype MG-5-5 (4.73 days) followed the genotype MG-9-1 (4.52 days), MG-5-3 (4.51 days), MG-6-2 (4.49 days) for cut flowers. Significantly maximum shelf life of loose flowers was recorded in the genotype MG-5-5 (2.52 days). Genotypes MG-2-2 (2.49 days), MG-9-1 (2.39 days), MG-7-2 (2.30 days), MG-13-1 (2.27 days), MG-6-2 (2.21 days) and MG-10-2 (2.20 days) were at par with the genotype MG-5-5.
