This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different silicon supplements and postharvest treatments on growth and yield of gerbera in a greenhouse experiment. Silicon supplements were including potassium silicate at three concentrations (0, 140 and 200 mg L−1), sodium silicate at three concentrations (0, 50 and 100 mg L−1) and rice hull ash (RHA) at three concentrations (0, 50 and 1...

Campanula carpatica Jacq. `Blue Clips' plants were grown in a greenhouse under nine combinations of day and night temperatures created by moving plants every 12 h among three day/ night temperatures (15, 20, and 258C). At each temperature, there were three daily light integrals (DLI; 4.2, 10.8, and 15.8 mol mÿ2 per day, averaged over the experimental period) created with varying supplemental li...

Wild hemp is one of the most valuable technical plant caused by sexual dimorphism: the differences in rate floras of Kazakhstan.Generally, it is accepted that the of growth and development between male and female most economically advantageous became fromthe plants are large [9]. The male plants tend to flower and cultivation of cultural fibre hemp varieties. The fibre hemp senesce earlier. Als...

An experiment was carried out using 20 native Dendrobium orchids in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications at the Orchidarium of Landscape, Ornamental and Floriculture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during the period January 2007 to June 2007 to estimate genetic variability, genetic parameters and correlation coefficient among different flower components. Highly significant va...

The effects of four plant growth regulators on Crocus sativus L. (saffron) yield and performance were studied in two consecutive years under field conditions. Saffron corms immersed solutions gibberellic acid (GA3), salicylic (SA), paclobutrazol (PBZ), chlormequat chloride (CCC), distilled water (hydroprime), dry as the control. Results showed that among different treatments, plants primed with...

gladiolus (gladiolus grandiflorus l.) is one of the most widely cultivated, economically important and common flowering plants worldwide including pakistan. however, its yield of flower is quite low when grown under agro-climatic conditions of multan. a field experiment was conducted at the experimental area, department of horticulture, bahauddin zakariya university, multan (pakistan), during 2...
