A bulb is a specialized organ of many ornamental and vegetable crops, providing the plant with nutrients and serving as a tool for reproduction and forcing. Understanding the biological characteristics of bulbous plants, the rules for their storage, and the agrotechnics of their cultivation is critical for obtaining high-quality planting material, managing flowering times, and ensuring high plant productivity in a greenhouse. Knowledge of the specifics of temperature regimes, humidity, and methods of protection against pathogens allows specialists and gardeners to minimize losses and maintain the life cycle of crops at all stages of development.
This collection brings together materials dedicated to the technological aspects of working with bulbous and tuberous crops. Readers will find practical recommendations on forcing popular ornamental plants, such as tulips, narcissi, and hyacinths, as well as detailed instructions on the storage of onion sets and mother plants. In addition to highly specialized topics, the articles cover general issues of agrotechnics, including methods of vegetative propagation, principles of mineral nutrition, diagnosis of diseases, and regulations for the application of plant protection products. This knowledge will help optimize production processes in nurseries and on home garden plots.
