An Evaluation of Some Japanese Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) Varieties Grown in Bangladesh

Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted for the first time in Bangladesh, at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-eBangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during November, 2010 to July, 2011 to asses the adaptability of seven lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) cultivars namely Micky Rose, Pink Rose, Azuma No Yosooi, Purple Edge Glass, Piccolo Blue, Mellow Purple and Royal Violet for commercial cultivation in Bangladesh. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design with nine replications. Significant differences among cultivars were noted for all the attributes evaluated. The highest number of flowers (16.0/plant) was produced by Piccolo Blue and the lowest from Pink Rose (7.0/plant). All the cultivars in this study showed very good shelf life (12.0-25.0days) in normal condition. All the seven lisianthus cultivars performed satisfactorily as ideal cut flowers. Further work may be done to develop these as commercial cultivars in Bangladesh.

Morphological Variability of Eustoma Hybrids Obtained From Interspecific Crosses Between Eustoma Grandiflorum X Eustoma Exaltatum

“…These results are like the reported by Uddin et al, 2015, who evaluated the behave of 8 E. grandiflorum varieties from February to October with a temperature between 28.4-31.3°C, they reported the higher plant length of 58.9 cm grouped respectively in tall category. Plants with length of 46 cm from November to July cataloged in medium subgroupUddin et al (2013). These values differ with Ahmed (2016) that analyzed the yielding of 15 Lisiantus lines and mentioned that maximum values in plant length were from 68.8 to 65.9 cm.…”

ÍNDICE DE VERDOR DE LISIANTHUS (Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shinners) EN FUNCIÓN DE LA CONCENTRACIÓN DE 6-BENCILAMINOPURINA

“…La vida en florero en el cv. ABC osciló entre 11 y 15 d, la cual supera parcialmente a otras especies florícolas como rosa y gladiola (Gladiolus) (7 a 15 d) y es buen indicador para recomendar su producción como flor de corte (Jamal Uddin et al, 2013). Figura 2.…”

“…El valor b * fue máximo (-23.3) en el tratamiento BAP asperjado al follaje (3 mM), mientras que los valores menos negativos -12.0 -13.3 y -13.2 fueron para BAP en agua 3 mM, testigo y BAP en agua 5 mM, respectivamente. En este orden de ideas, cuando los valores de b * son más negativos el color azulmorado que presentan los pétalos es más intenso, por lo que BAP asperjado al follaje 3 mM de BAP disuelto en agua en 1 mM le confirió a los pétalos color más intenso (Jamal Uddin et al, 2013), característica importante en la comercialización de esta especie ornamental.…”

Morpho-physiological characterization and petal color analysis of Gloriosa as a potential cut flower

“…The positive attitude of respondents toward flowers, multipurpose uses of flowers, increasing uses of flower made products and an unsatisfied demand of some flowers are all positive indicators of the business boom (Mou, 2012). Evaluation of various cut flowers is now time demanding and need them to explore the flower industry (Uddin et al, 2013). It is quite suitable for flower arrangements in bouquet and it has quite good vase life (7-8 days) also.…”
