Determination of Floristic Characteristics and Bulb Yield of Alternative Fragrant Narcissus Varieties under Bayındır Ecological Conditions

Abstract

This research was conducted in the trial fields of Ege University Bayındır Vocational Training School from 2021 to 2023. The study investigated the adaptation of 13 different fragrant daffodil cultivars to the Bayındır region. Fifty bulbs were planted in each plot using a randomized plot experimental design. Phenological developmental stages, floristic characteristics, and bulb yield parameters were evaluated. The findings revealed significant variations among the cultivars. ‘Grand Soleil d’Or’ was the earliest emerging and flowering variety in both growing seasons. This cultivar also had the longest flowering period, while ‘Minnow’ and ‘White Cheerfulness’ exhibited the shortest. ‘Babymoon’ and ‘Cornish Dawn’ produced the highest number of flowers, while ‘Tripartite’ showed the lowest. In floral characterization, ‘Avalanche’ had the highest number of florets per stem, and ‘Rosemoor Gold’ had the largest flower diameter. ‘Geranium’, ‘Grand Soleil d’Or’, and ‘Cornish Dawn’ excelled in flower length and stem thickness. ‘Avalanche’ showed the highest performance in bulb yield, while ‘Tripartite’, ‘White Cheerfulness’, ‘Hillstar’, ‘Quail’, ‘Babymoon’, and ‘Minnow’ had low yields. In bulb number analysis, ‘Tripartite’ produced the highest count, though all bulbs remained small. Based on these results, ‘Cornish Dawn’ and ‘Garden Opera’ are recommended for both cut flower and bulb cultivation in the Bayındır region. The ‘Babymoon’ cultivar has potential for use in landscaping and as a potted ornamental plant due to its high flower count.
