Factors Influencing the Yield of Alstroemeria

Response of Flowering Parameters of Alstoemeria to Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers under Protected Conditions

“…Phosphorus is one of the major players in the process of photosynthesis, nutrient, transport, energy transport and affects the plant structure at cellular level, that is why plants with adequate level of phosphorus will grow more vigorously. The above parameters lends support from the study by Lisiecka and Szczepaniak (1992) who obtained highest flower yield in Alstroemeria at 150-300 mg/l. Baboo et al, (2005) reported earlier flowering in marigold with maximum yield when plants were treated with highest dose of phosphorus.…”
