Abstract
Israel is a small country, but it is marked by great diversity of climatic, topographical and soil conditions.
We developed methods for adaptation of specific cut-flower crops for the various climatic regions in the country, with minimum environmental control, taking advantage of the local natural conditions.
Our main export season is winter, but the natural flowering period of most floriculture crops is spring and summer.
The introduction of new plants for year-round production, requires developing physiological and horticultural techniques for out of season production.
Examples of plants adapted for the various climatic regions of Israel are presented: Mild climate – the coastal plain and inner valleys: Gypsophila, Solidago, Lisianthus (Eustoma), Phlox, Godetia (Clarkia) and several bulbous crops.
Warm climate – the Negev and Arava desert and Jordan Valley: Asclepias, Trachelium, sunflower.
Cool climate –The Galilee, Judea mountains and the Golan Heights: peony.
Detailed description of the control method developed for Gypsophila and peony are presented.
