Abstract
Experiments were conducted to study the effect of bulb size, storage and treatment with chemicals on growth and flower production in tuberose.
Bulb diameter between 1.5 to 2.0 cm, storage of bulbs at 4°–10°C for 10–30 days and soaking of bulbs in GA3 (200 mg/l) and thiourea (2000 mg/l) solution for 6 hours were found to improve plant growth and increase yield of spikes and flowers.
These treatments also caused early emergence of flower spikes and improved the quality of flowers.
