| The effect of
planting date (February-May) on growth and flowering of P. tuberosa was
investigated during 1995-97 in Bihar, India. Early and late planting
produced plants with poor flower and spike yields. Planting bulbs on 7
March followed by 22 March produced plants with a high number of long
leaves/clump, thick and big spikes, and a high number of florets and
spikes/unit area. |
