पोर थ्रू निष्कर्षण विधि का उपयोग कर फूलों की फसलों की पीएच और ईसी की माप Providing a proper nutritional program is essential for growing top quality plants. Sampling the root substrate for pH and electrical conductivity (EC) with the PourThru extraction method is a quick and simple. The pour-through method has been shown to be as satisfactory as other more expensive and time consuming methods of measuring EC. Unlike sampling methods that require removal of medium from containers, the pour-through method does not disturb plant roots. The values provide clues about a crop’s performance before deficiency or toxicity symptoms appear. As nurseries implement more environmentally and economically sound growing regimes, the pour-through method should become more widely used by foliage growers for self-determination of EC levels periodically during the crop production cycle. Since many foliage plants can be grown satisfactorily with a wide range of fertilizer rates. The best fertilization rate, from an environmental and economic standpoint, cannot always be determined by visual inspection. Even though excess fertilizer may not harm some plants, excess nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) elements can be lost through leaching and eventually contaminate groundwater. Growing regimes designed to have minimum detrimental impact on the natural environment should include only enough fertilizer for good plant growth, combined with irrigation practices that...

एन्थूरीअम कट पुुुुष्‍पों का कटाई उपरांत प्रबंधन Anthurium (Anthurium andreanum) is an evergreen, tropical, perennial herbaceous plant grown for showy cut flowers valued for colorful, long lasting, cylindrical spadix subtended in large heart shaped spathe and unusually attractive foliage. Anthurium, commonly called as Flamingo flower or Flamingo lily, is ideal for beds, borders, pots and suites very well for floral arrangements. The spathe and spadix are brilliantly colored ranging from scarlet, red, salmon, orange, pink and white but red is the most preferred colour. Anthurium cut flowers are highly perishable, prone to post-harvest losses and necessitate utmost care. Anthurium cut flowers survive without much deterioration for about two weeks by nature. However, quality of cut flowers depends on stage of harvest, pre-harvest factors and post-harvest handling. Post harvest management involves the steps for the improvement in keeping quality of the flower to the consumer. Factors affecting the post-harvest quality are pre-harvest factors viz. genetical, environmental (temperature, relative humidity, light), nutrition, irrigation and other cultural practices contribute to 70 per cent and remaining 30 per cent is determined through the post harvest management viz. stage, time and method of harvest, pre-cooling, bunching, packaging, storage and use of floral preservatives.  Pre-requisites for post-harvest quality of anthurium cut flower The size, shape, colour and texture of the spathe A heart...

 ग्लेडियोलस फूल के फूलदान जीवन में वृद्धि के लि‍ए सोडियम नाइट्रोप्रससाइड का उपचार The importance of flowers in socio-cultural and religious life of the Indian people can hardly be exaggerated. Though flower cultivation has been practiced in India since time immemorial, floriculture has blossomed into a viable and profitable business only in recent years. Considering the potential of this sector in generating income and employment opportunities, promoting greater involvement of women and enhancement of exports, this has been identified as an extreme focus area for export by Government of India. Flowers require sincere, patient, soft, affectionate as well as expert handling. All cut flowers are destined to die, and the challenge for postharvest researchers is to slow the processes controlling flower death to enable cut flowers to reach distant markets with a display life. Gladiolus (Gladiolus species) is very much liked for its majestic spikes containing attractive, elegant and delicate florets. Gladiolus have five stages of flower development viz., bud stage (colour visible), half-open stage, fully-open stage, incipient senescent stage and finally senescence stage. These florets open in sequence over a longer duration and hence have a good keeping quality of cut spikes. There is a wide range of colours- self or bicolour with or without central mark varying from white to dark. Normally, gladiolus...

6 प्रमुख कटफ्लावर की स्वस्थ रोपण सामग्री के उत्पादन की  तकनीक Production of healthy and disease free planting material is difficult task and required lot of experience, planning and management. Since quality planting material (seed/saplings/bulbs etc.) is the basic requirement for successful flower (cut/loose) production for market or exhibition. Generally, plants are produced by two methods i.e. sexual and asexual or vegetative. In India sexual method is followed mostly in flowering annuals (seasonal flowers) and most of the shade, flowering or ornamental trees. Some annual creepers viz., Clitoria ternatea, Cobaea seandens, Lethyrus odoratus, Ipomea spp and Thunbergia alata are also produced from seeds. The other types of plants which are also commonly propagated in our country from seeds are palms, different cacti and succulents. There are several ornamentals which are not normally propagated from seeds but bred by breeders through seed to get new hybrids. Some of these plants are rose, chrysanthemum, gladiolus, carnation, orchid, dahlia, bougainvillea and hibiscus etc. Large number of ornamental plants are also produced through vegetative means like cutting, layering, buddings and asexual organs like corm, bulb and tubers. Therefore, the vegetative production technology of major cut flowers is discussed below in order to facilitate the production of quality planting material. 1. Chrysanthemum Plants are propagated by rooting terminal cuttings....

कारनेशन फूलों की संरक्षित खेती  Carnation is a half hardy perennial with branching stems and tumid joints. Leaf blades are simple, entire and usually narrow. Each stems form a terminal flower and hence inflorescence is generally a terminal cyme. The flowering shoots of carnation are marketed in two forms, standard form and spray or miniature form. Perpetual flowering and green house carnations are of modern origin.  Botanical  Name  : Dianthus caryophyllusFamily : Caryophyllacae Native : Southern EuropeTemperature : Night 14ºC-16ºC,  Day 17 ºC- 22 ºC Crop duration : For Two yearsChromosome no. : 2n=30At present enormous varieties are available with many attractive colours, remarkable ranges of shapes , sizes and delicate fragrance. Types of carnation: Standard type: In  Standard type, flowering buds formed on short lateral shoots arising from the axis of the upper leaves are removed to leave one large, terminal flower on a long leafy stem. It has one large flower on an individual stem. Spray type: In spray type, terminal flower bud is removed at an early stage to encourage  more even development of the lateral flowers, which then produce a multiple flowered stem. Dianthine type :They are more or less similar to the spray varieties, but in this type flowers are smaller and produce more flowers on long stems. Market of these types of carnations is small.

कटाई उपरांत कटफ्लावर का रखरखाव  Floriculture has emerged as a viable diversification option in the agri-business. It is a rapidly expanding industry recording a growth rate of more than 15 per cent per annum in the last two decades.  Rapid urbanization, increased income levels and changes in social values resulted in increase of domestic market both for modern (cut flowers) as well as traditional (loose flowers) flowers significantly. Improvement in the general level of well being in the country and increased affluence particularly among the middle class is also another reason for increase in the volume of local flower market. The quantum of Indian floricultural exports, although, increased manifold since early nineties, still there is huge scope to become a key player in the world flower trade. The floriculture industry in India is characterized by growing traditional flowers (loose flowers) and cut flowers under open field conditions and protected environment conditions respectively. India also has a strong dry flower industry, which contributes a major share to the overall trade. Other segments like fillers, potted plants, seeds and planting material, turf grass industry and value added products also contribute a share in the overall growth of the floriculture sector. At present, the area under flower crops in India is 167000 ha with...
