Planting Time Affects Vegetative and Reproductive Growth of Exotic Cultivars of Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus)

Abstract

The field performance of 24 exotic cultivars of snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L.) at three planting dates

Exogenous application of moringa leaf extract influences growth, flowering and vase life of snap dragon (Antirrhinum majus) cultivars

“…Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) is a perennial herbaceous ornamental plant but mostly treated as a winter annual seasonal flowering plant [1]. Its family is Plantaginaceae and its origin is the Mediterranean region [2].…”

Allelopathy of extracts of Cyperus rotundus and Oxalis latifolia on snapdragon seeds germination

“…Many ornamental species such as bellflowers, carnations, daisy, pansy and sunflower are propagated via seeds. Among these, snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus L.) has notable growing in market as cut flowers for place decoration or to gardens, however the production techniques for obtaining of high quality flowers are not established (SHAFIQUE et al, 2011;NAWAZ et al, 2017).…”

“…The most common weed species present in the field of ornamental plants are the Cyperus rotundus (purple nutsedge) and Oxalis latifolia (sour clover), often cited as causes of production losses due to competition or release of allelopathic compounds (RASTEGAR et al, 2016;QUEIROZ et al, 2016;PRASAD and SHIVAY, 2017). Both species are found in bromeliads production (RODRIGUES et al, 2007;SALA et al, 2007), but they may also be found in field of roses, chrysanthemum, gerbera, tango, lily and snapdragon.…”
