Paclobutrazol and cytokinin to produce Iris (Iris x hollandica Tub.) in pots
Because of the increasing and diversified demand for potted plants, there is interest in Argentina in commercial iris production (Iris x hollandica Tub.). Two experiments were performed at the Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA), San Pedro Agricultural Experimental Station (33º41' S, 59º41' W), Buenos Aires Province. The effects of increasing concentrations of paclobutrazol (PBZ) and combinations of PBZ and 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) were compared. Height, length of the cycle and rate of flowering were registered. Experiment 1: the bulbs were subjected to immersion in nine conce... Mehr ...

Because of the increasing and diversified demand for potted plants, there is interest in Argentina in commercial iris production (Iris x hollandica Tub.). Two experiments were performed at the Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA), San Pedro Agricultural Experimental Station (33º41' S, 59º41' W), Buenos Aires Province. The effects of increasing concentrations of paclobutrazol (PBZ) and combinations of PBZ and 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) were compared. Height, length of the cycle and rate of flowering were registered. Experiment 1: the bulbs were subjected to immersion in nine concentrations of PBZ: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 or 80 mg L-1 for 24 h. Experiment 2: the bulbs were immersed in three concentrations of PBZ: 0, 10 or 20 mg L-1 for 24 h and then in BA solutions: 0 or 5 mg L-1 for 24 h. In both cases, the cultivars evaluated were `Casablanca´ and `Professor Blaauw'. The bulbs were planted immediately after the treatments in 1 L capacity and 12 cm height pots, on 22 July 2008. PBZ allowed for reducing height in all treated plants. A concentration of 20 mg L-1 would be sufficient to achieve harmonious plants with the containers used: 33 cm tall, average reduction of 41 to 44% compared to the respective control (57 cm). For this concentration, the delay in the duration of the cycle was minimal: 3 to 4 days. There was no effect of BA on the variables. The rate of flowering was not affected by the treatments. ; En Argentina, ante el aumento y la diversificación de la demanda de plantas en maceta, el iris (Iris x hollandica Tub.) se presenta atrayente para la producción comercial. En la Estación Experimental Agropecuaria INTA San Pedro (33º41´ S, 59º41´ O), Provincia de Buenos Aires, se compararon los efectos de concentraciones crecientes de paclobutrazol (PBZ) y combinaciones de PBZ y 6-bencilaminopurina (BA), sobre la altura de la planta, la duración de las etapas del ciclo fenológico y la tasa de floración. Para ello se realizaron dos experimentos, Experimento 1: los bulbos se sometieron a ...
