Application of Photoperiodic Manipulation in Vegetative Specialty Floral Crop Propagation and Flowering

HortScience, 1998
Photoperiod requirements are important for optimum flower development, decreasing production time, year-round flowering, and/or for increasing vegetative growth necessary in stock plant production. The photoperiodic responses were determined for 24 vegetatively propagated specialty floral crops. Each plant species was grown at 8-, 10-, 12-, 14-, and 16-
