Abstract
In the Netherlands, the forcing of Lilium "Enchantment" in the winter period is impeded by the occurrence of flower-bud abscission and blasting.
Higher temperatures in the glasshouse promote bud abscission, but the light factor is crucial.
Higher temperatures in the glasshouse promote bud abscission, but the light factor is crucial.
The flower buds are most likely to undergo abscission at a bud length of about 1.0 to 3 cm.
On the basis of a temperature-programmed forcing period and an obligatory period of supplementary illumination, a schedule can be made for additional lighting for several sets of lilies during forcing in the winter period.
