Peculiarities of Lilium hybridum hort. vegetative propagation under different terms of separation of scales

Abstract

Peculiarities of vegetative propagation of different hybrid Lilium hybridum hort. groups under conditions of winter, spring and summer terms of separation of scales are studied. Thirteen varieties with high bulb forming factor is revealed. Optimal terms for Asian hybrids separation of scales are revealed to be in direct correlation with the terms of the varieties blooming. Early flowering varieties form the maximum of bulbs at winter separation of scales, a medium flowering ones do at spring separation of scales. For most of studied varieties the spring separation of scales is optimum. A group of varieties having larger bulb forming factor at winter or summer separation of scales is revealed.
