THE EFFECT OF 6-BENZYLADENINE ON Astilbe × arendsii ARENDS ‘AMETHYST’ FLOWERING CULTIVATED FOR CUT FLOWERS

Abstract

The effect of benzyladenine on Astilbe × arendsii Arends flowering was determined. The cultivation of Astilbe × arendsii in an unheated plastic tunnel reduces the inflorescence yield in the first and second year of flowering as compared to the field, but increases the fresh weight and lenght of inflorescence stems.
