abstract

ten gerbera cultivars (‘labinel’, ‘lilla’, ‘alp’, ‘alberino’, ‘bonnie’, ‘avemaria’, ‘mammut’, ‘lexus’, ‘‘terramixa ’ & ‘sarolta’) were evaluated for their growth, yield and quality characteristics under protected conditions during 2011. among the cultivars studied, there were highly significant variations observed for growth, yield and quality parameters. longest stalk length (60.3 cm) was exhibited by the cultivar ‘alberino’ followed by ‘lexus’ (59.0) and ‘mammut’ (54.0 cm). the same cultivar also produced flowers with maximum diameter. with respect to vegetative parameters like number of leaves per plant and plant spread were also more in the same cultivar. maximum number of flowers 135 per square meters was recorded in cv. ‘avemaria’ (135) followed by ‘alberino’ (125). maximum vase life was recorded in cultivars ‘alberino’ and ‘lexus’ (6.6) followed by ‘mammut’ (5.6) and ‘‘sarolta’’ (5.6). excellent quality flowers were observed in cultivar ‘alberino’ (4.8) followed by ‘lexus’ (4.4). cultivar ‘alberino’ and ‘lexus’ were found superior with respect to growth, yield and vase-life characteristics under protected conditions.

Comparative Evaluation of Growth, Yield and Quality Characteristics of Various Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii L.) Cultivars under Protected Condition

Ten gerbera cultivars (‘Labinel’, ‘Lilla’, ‘Alp’, ‘Alberino’, ‘Bonnie’, ‘Avemaria’, ‘Mammut’, ‘Lexus’, ‘‘Terramixa ’ & ‘Sarolta’) were evaluated for their growth, yield and quality characteristics under protected conditions during 2011. Among the cultivars studied, there were highly significant variations observed for growth, yield and quality parameters. Longest stalk length (60.3 cm) was exhi...

effect of seed priming and irrigation regimes on yield,yield components and quality of safflowers cultivars

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

Study on the Effect of Different Growing Media on the Growth and Yield of Gerbera(Gerbera jamesonii L.)

To study the effect of different substrates on growth and yield of gerbera, this experiment was carried out as randomized completely block design with 14 treatments and 3 replications. Treatments were as fallowing: fine sand, peat+fine sand (25%+75%), peat+fine sand (50%+50%), perlite+peat (75%+25%), perlite+peat (50%+50%), perlite+peat (25% +75%), perlite+peat+expanded clay (25%+70%+5%), perli...

Morphological and Biochemical Responses of Gerbera (Gerbera Jamesonii L.) to Application of Silica Nanoparticles and Calcium Chelate under Hydroponic State

The purpose of this study was to investigate the response of physicochemical properties of gerbera (Gerbera Jamesonii L.) to silica nanoparticles (Nanoparticle-SiO2) and calcium chelate (Ca-Chelate) in nutrient solutions. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with two factors was conducted in four replicates. The first factor the concentration of Nanoparticle-SiO2 in nutr...

Rapid plant regeneration from Gerbera jamesonii Bolus callus cultures

A high frequency shoot organogenesis and plant establishment protocol has been developed for Gerbera jamesonii from ex vitro leaf derived callus. The optimal callus was developed on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 0.4 mg L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 4.0 mg L -naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 3% (w/v) sucrose. Two callus types differing in their structures and growth rat...
