a study was conducted to standardize production and postharvest handling of lily (lilium longifolium l. cv. mero star). in production trial, three plant densities viz.10, 20 and 30 cm between plants in 60 cm spaced rows and two planting depths viz.7.5 and 15 cm were compared. increased plant growth, yield and quality was recorded when plants were grown at a close spacing of 10 cm with 15 cm pla...

We studied bacterial isolates 15M and 16M from calla lily tubers showing soft rot in commercial plantations in Poland. Colony morphology differed from that of known agents of bacterial soft rot of this plant. The use of Microgen Bacillus ID system allowed to identify both isolates as Paenibacillus polymyxa. This was confirmed by sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene fragments. The isolates showed ...

in order to investigate the effects of hinokitiol (0.1, 1, 5 and 10 micromolar), humic acid (100, 500. 1000 and 10000 ppm), sucrose (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 percent), and silver thiosulphate (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mm) treatments on longevity and some quality characteristics of cut yelloween lily flowers, an experiment was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design of two replications (tim...

Height control of potted Lilium lancifolium (Tiger lily) and L. × aurelianense (Aurelian lily) plants would improve their marketability in the garden center and extend their market season. Bulbs (16-18 cm) were treated with Concise (uniconazole) or Piccolo (paclobutrazol). Bulbs were dipped for one minute in a 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 mg/L Concise solution or for 15 minutes in a 0, 5, 10, 20, or 40 mg...
