Studies on transplant production of Dianthus caryophyllus L. andGypsophilia paniculata L. using different size cell trays - Effects ofcell (root zone) volume and transplanting age on subsequent growth and cutflower quality [Japanese]

摘要

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of cell (root zone) volume during rooting and transplanting age in two cut flower species. Cuttings of carnation, Dianthus caryophyllus L. 'Nora' and Gypsophila paniculata L,. 'Bristol Fairy', were grown in trays, comprised of 406 and 128 cells pre -filled with 6 and 20 mi potting medium / cell, respectively. 'Nora' cuttings were transplanted when 20 to 50 days old at 10-days intervals, whereas 'Bristol Fairy' cuttings were transplanted when 22 to 52 days old.
