Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-MENDOZA, María de las Nieves et al. Organo-mineral production of tulip (Tulipa gesneriana L.) for cut flowers. Rev. Chapingo Ser.Hortic [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.3, pp.117-127. ISSN 2007-4034.

An evaluation was made of tulip plants (Tulipa gesneriana L.) cv Golden Apeldoorn under greenhouse conditions, with the application of Steiner solution in different concentrations, and the application of organic nutrients to the root (Aminofit Extra®) and to foliage (bee honey at 2 %). In the cut flower, differences were found in stem thickness, intensity of green in foliage and nutrient content among treatments. In vase life, the control plants lasted six days, those irrigated with Steiner solution (100 %), 12 days, and those with honey applied to the foliage, 15 days. It is concluded that the combination of Steiner solution at 100 % and foliar fertilization with honey increases flower quality.

Keywords : cv. Golden Apeldoorn; organic fertilization; honey.
