The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of pulsing and holding solutions on the vase life of cut spikes in anthurium cv. TEMPTATION. Pre-transit pulsing treatment with sodium hypochlororite 500 ppm took long days to develop spadix blackening (20 d), spathe blueing (21 d) and loss of glossiness of spathe (19 d) and recorded an increased vase-life period of 13 d over control. Cut spikes of Anthurium cv. Temptation kept in holding solution of sucrose 5 per cent + NaOCl, 16H2O - 50 ppm + kinetin - 25 ppm took maximum days for anther bursting (18d), discolouration of the spathe (29d) and vaselife period (30d). While the untreated flowers had a reduced vase-life of 15 days only.Keywords

A study was conducted to evaluate the twenty nine anthurium cultivars at Horticultural Research Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Yercaud between June 2008 and 2010 for quantitative and qualitative characters. Significant differences were observed for all the characters. In respect to the plant height cultivar Ria Bamboo Red recorded the highest plant height (73.90 cm) and Flamingo Blush Pink produced the maximum number of leaves per plant (11) and cv. Gino Orange (3.50) recorded minimum number of leaves per plant .Cultivars Lima White (4.21 no.) and Peach (3.60 no.) recorded maximum number of suckers. Linda De mole had the maximum plant spread (73.20 cm) and minimum was recorded in cv. Red KLP (32 cm). The highest leaf length was produced in Liver Red (40.84 cm) and maximum breadth (21.60 cm). In respect, to stalk length cultivar Hawaiin Red recorded the highest stalk length (64.90 cm) and Merignue Red (30.40 cm) recorded the lowest stalk length. Temptation recorded the highest spathe length (18.10 cm),spathe width (15.00 cm), spadix length of (11.5 cm) and the highest numbers of spikes per plant (9 no.). Honduras (24 d) recorded maximum vase life in water and vase life of flower on plant (23.68 d). In correlation and path co-efficients the characters viz., plant height, plant spread, leaf length, leaf breadth, stalk length, spathe length, spathe width, spadix length emerged out as important component. It could be concluded from the present investigation that out of twenty nine cultivars evaluated the Temptation, Honduras, Peach Ria Bamboo Red and Verdun Red were found to be the best cultivars with superior in qualities for cut flower production under Shevaroy condition of eastern ghat.Keywords

A maiden attempt was made at Horticultural Research Station (HRS), a constituent research unit of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, located at Yercaud, Salem District, Tamil Nadu, India during 2012-2013 to assess the suitability of various ornamental foliage plant species under Shevroys /Eastern Ghats conditions. Considerable variation was found in quantitative and qualitative parameters among the foliage species. The study recommends Nephrolepis cordifolia and Asparagus sprengeri as suitable liners, while, large-leaved species like Cordyline fruticosa and Philodendron xanadu as background materials in larger arrangements, and the smaller-leaved Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia for smaller arrangements.Keywords

An investigation was carried out to evaluate performance of 36 cultivars of cut gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus ex Hooker F.) in a polyhouse at Horticultural Research Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Yercaud, during 2008-2010. Significant differences were observed for all the characters studied. Maximum plant-spread (78.02cm) was observed in cv. Robusta. Higher number of leaves was recorded in cv. White Tibet (41.54). Maximum Leaf length and leaf width was recorded in cvs. Golden Gate and Yanara. Maximum number of suckers produced was recorded in cv. Junkfru (7.60). Maximum stalk length was observed in cv. White Tibet (62.62cm), while flower diameter, cut flower production and vase-life were higher in cv. Rosalin. Correlation and path coefficient analysis showed that plant height, number of leaves per plant and number of suckers per plant were the important components of cut-flower yield in gerbera. It may be concluded that cultivars Rosalin, White Tibet, Junkfru and Golden Gate were found to be the best for floral quality and yield, and are recommended for cut-flower production under Shevaroy condition of Eastern Ghats.Keywords

Performance of 24 orchid species was assessed in the net-house of Horticultural Research Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Yercaud. Among the species studied, plant height was significantly high (105cm) in Spathoglotts plicata. At the end of the vegetative stage, number of leaves was maximum (30) in Aerides. Leaf was longest (49.8cm) and widest (17.6cm) in Rhyncostylis retusa. Paphiopedilum insigne produced largest flower size (14.4cm across). Pedicel length was highest in Phaius tankervillae (10.3cm) and Renanthera inshootiana (7.1cm). Aerides multiflorum recorded lowest pedicel length (1.24cm). Epidendrum radicans and Spathoglottis plicata produced flowers round the year. Lucia virides recorded maximum life (29 days) on plant, followed by Arachnanthe clarkei (18 days), Dendrobium densiflorum (18 days) and Oncidium flexosum (16 days), while, minimum (6 days) was observed in two orchid species, Aerides crispum and Cattleya sp. Maximum (23 days) vase life was recorded in Lucia virides. Results of the investigation thus reveal that among the 24 orchid species studied, Epidendrum radicans, Lucia virides and Paphiopedilum insigne performed better in terms of vegetative and floral characters under Shevaroy hill condition.Keywords

A study was conducted on the influence of growth media on development of Asparagus densiflorus 'Meyersii' at Horticultural Research Station, Yercaud during the years 2011-12. The pot experiment was laid out under open condition, with nine set of treatments comprising various combinations of soil, sand, FYM, vermicompost and microbial consortia (Azospirillum, phosphobacteria and Pseudomonas fluorescens). From among the media combinations used, the treatment involving Soil + Sand + FYM + Vermicompost (T3) @ 2:1:1:0.5 (670g+375g+375g+165g) was found to be the best substrate for vegetative and ischolar_main characters like plant height, shoot number, leaflet number, leaflet length, leaflet width, ischolar_main number, ischolar_main length, bulb number, bulb length, bulb width and vase-life in Asparagus densiflorus 'Meyersii'.Keywords

Gladiolus grandiflorus L. genotypes were evaluated for growth and floral parameters in Eastern Ghats of Tamil Nadu, under Yercaud conditions. Significant differences were recorded for all traits studied. Among 42 genotypes evaluated, 'Pusa Shagun' and 'Pusa Swarnima' recorded quality spikes with higher vase life indicating their suitability for use in floral arrangement, while, genotypes like 'Thumbolina', 'Priscilla' and 'Candyman' were found superior in characters like corm number, corm weight and corm diameter. Taking into account various growth and floral characters of the genotypes studied, Pusa Swarnima, Pusa Shagun, Thumbolina, Priscilla and Candyman can be recommended for cut-flower production in the Eastern Ghats of Tamil Nadu.Keywords

The investigations on gladiolus cv. WHITE PROSPERITY were carried out at the Horticultural Research Station Yercaud, Salem district, during 2009-2010 to find out the effect of biostimulants on gladiolus with reference to growth, yield and post harvest quality attributes. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design consisted of three biostimulants viz., humic acid, Panchagavya, vermiwash and combinations comprising of seven treatments. Various growth characters were recorded at 15 days interval after planting. The yield components were recorded after spike emergence. The post harvest quality attributes were analysed after harvest. The physiological characters were also studied from 45 days after planting. The study revealed that, gladiolus showed better response to the foliar application of 0.2 per cent humic acid significantly. All the morphological parameters exhibited positive and better response in humic acid treatment compared to other biostimulants and its combination. The economic traits were positively influenced by humic acid application. Foliar application of 0.2 per cent humic acid led to early spike emergence (46.46 days) than control (55.33 days). The highest spike length, rachis length and number of floret per spike were higher in foliar application of 0.2 per cent humic acid. This also increased the yield of spike per plant and per square meter with regard to the post harvest quality characters, longevity of cut spike in tap water and in 2 per cent sucrose were greatly influenced by the same treatment. Foliar application of 0.2 per cent humic acid increased corm weight, corm diameter and number of cormels.
