Opis

Alstroemeria is a versatile cut flower and has occupied a prominent position among the top ten cut flowers in the global floriculture industry. The increasing popularity and acceptability in the global perspective has mainly attributed to the long vase life, wide spectrum of colors available, ever blooming habit and high yield of flowers besides ease into its cultivation under varied agroclimatic conditions. Plants are generally multiplied by division of rhizomes but the slow multiplication rate discourages the growers who want to take up alstroemeria cultivation. High costs keeps in vitro multiplication out of the reach of common grower which can be speed up by the application of synthetic cytokinins so as to fulfill the ever increasing demand for the planting material of Alstroemeria. This book contain the information pertaining to the role of Benzyl Adenine (6-benzyl amino purine)on enhanced multiplication rate in alstroemeria cv. Pluto.
