Growing hyacinths as pot plants
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Creating a forcing schedule A forcing schedule can be drawn up by using the previously listed cold periods. For example a forcing operation wants to have marketable pot hyacinths with flower clusters easily visible between the leaves on 7 December. If it takes one week to green up and pre-force the plants in the greenhouse, and if the cold period for that cultivar is 10 weeks, the bulbs will have to be planted to start their cold period 11 weeks before 7 December: around 20 September. The pots can then be housed around 1 December. The same method can be used to calculate the earliest date for planting hyacinths in pots for a later housing date.

Potential pest transfer mediated by international ornamental plant trade
In recent years, the keeping of ornamental freshwater animals and plants in garden ponds has been growing in popularity. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is one of the preferred macrophytes seasonally imported mainly from South-eastern Asia throughout the world. This constitutes a secondary introduction inasmuch as the species is native to South America. Although many assemblages of aquati...
متن کاملNon-circulating Hydroponic Methods for Growing Tomatoes
‘Big Beef’ tomatoes produced 2.68 kg/plant from a 72 day harvest period when they were grown in 0.35 liter aluminum beverage cans by a sub-irrigation hydroponic method. Tomatoes growing in net pots (70 ml) suspended by expanded polystyrene bead boards with a sub-irrigation method gave similar yields in one trial but lower yields in another trial than tomatoes growing in beverage cans. Tomatoes ...

متن کاملPot size matters: a meta-analysis of the effects of rooting volume on plant growth
Themajority of experiments in plant biology use plants grown in some kind of container or pot.We conducted a meta-analysis on 65 studies that analysed the effect of pot size on growth and underlying variables.On average, a doubling of the pot size increased biomass production by 43%. Further analysis of pot size effects on the underlying components of growth suggests that reduced growth in smal...
