A motive is goal directed and need satisfying behaviour. It explains why people do the things they do. It influences a person to do a thing in a certain way. It has the promise for future award at the end of activity or later on. Marigold with their bright and attractive shades are considered good for ornamental purpose. However, these flowers are also known for their medicinal properties. It can be summarized that marigold growers were mainly motivated for growing marigold for getting higher production and income, and to fetch high price. The study was conducted in three talukas of Anand district of Gujarat state, 120 farmers were selected who were involved in marigold cultivation. The data were collected through pre-tested structured interview schedule and appropriate statistical procedures were employed to analyze the data.Keywords

Total seed yield g per plant exhibited significant positive correlation with seed yield at 120, 150, 180 days after sowing, total and effective length of primary spike, 100 capsule and seed weight, shelling per cent and oil content. Yield was significantly negatively correlated with number of nodes upto primary spike and seed specific gravity. Path analysis revealed that yield at 120 and 180 days after sowing, effective length of primary spike, and seed specific gravity exhibited significantly high direct effects in positive desirable direction. The number of nodes up to primary spike and total length of primary spike exhibited highly significant direct effects in negative direction for total seed yield. Their association with total seed yield was significant and positive indicating the factor that there exists a true and perfect association between these traits.Keywords
