Effects of Different Growing Medium on Flower Quality and Bulb Yield of Oriental Lilium 'Siberia'
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of growing medium on Oriental Lilium 'Siberia' in greenhouse conditions in Ünye during summer and autumn of 2013. A total of 6 different media were used: peat+sand, perlite, perlite+peat, soil (control), peat+sand, sheep fertilizer+sand. The experiment was set up in three replications according to randomized plot design, and 8 bulbs were planted for each replicate plot. In the study, the length of flower stem, flower stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length, number and length of flower buds, diameter and length of bulblets and bulblet yield were determined. According to the statistical analysis, the best results in terms of flower stem length, numbers of leaves and bulblets, length of flower buds were obtained from the peat sand medium. Growing medium did not significantly (p<0.05) affect the length of leaves and bulblets. Sheep manure and sand mixture increased the diameters of bulblets while decreasing the number of bulblets. Consequently, the results showed that the use of peat+sand mix in the growing medium increased the flower quality and yield of bulblet.
