NARCISSUS TAZETTA: BORON DEFICIENCY AS A CAUSE OF FLOWER DISTORTION

Abstract

A previously un-attributed defect in the flowers of Narcissus tazetta, known locally in South-west England as melting, is described.
Soil and plant tissue analyses supported by field trials carried out on Narcissus tazetta Grand Soleil dOr in the Isles of Scilly indicate that the cause of this particular defect is boron deficiency.
Factors influencing the availability of boron in the soil, relevant cultural practices and the incidence of melting in commercial flower crops are discussed.
