Use of Sucrose in Propagation of Snowdrop Bulb

Abstract

Taurus snowdrop is one of the species exported with the quota limitation. Growing bulb in a short time is an important issue in terms of production. This research was performed so as to specify impressions of varied sucrose rates on the bulblet formation and growing. Galanthus elwesii Hook. (Taurus snowdrop) bulbs with a circumference of 4 cm obtained from a private company were used in this study. After the bulbs were cleaned, they were vertically divided into four segments (chips) and the chips were put on plastics bags with perlite. After adding perlite to the bag, city water (control), 1% sucrose and 2% sucrose solution were given to the bags filled with perlite to form bulblet from Taurus snowdrop chips in incubation. Incubation was done in storeroom at 18-20 oC temperature. At the end of the incubation, the bags were emptied and measurements were performed. According to statistical analysis; the impression of varied sucrose levels on the number of bulblet, bulblet and segment weight, bulblet height and bulblet weight was insignificant. The bulblet number ranged from 1.00 to 1.33 piece and the bulblet weight ranged from 0.16 to 0.33 g. As sucrose dose increased, bulblet diameter increased. The impression of varied sucrose levels on bulblet diameter was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The highest bulblet diameter was obtained in 2% sucrose (6.28 g) and 1% sucrose (5.54 g) treatments.
