For this flower cultivation, long days to induce vegetative growth are required, until the plant reaches the necessary size for commercial flowering. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the number of long days on the production of floral stems of five cut chrysanthemum cultivars. The experiment was evaluated in a randomized block design with split plots, with two factors and three replicates. Considering the number of long days (21, 28, 35, 42 and 49) the plots, and sub-plots the cut chrysanthemum cultivars (Calábria, Dragon, Sheena, Apricot Repin and Rebasco). We noticed significant differences for most of morphological traits for number of long days, and... |
