Author(s) : NELL T. A., LEONARD R. T., BARRETT J. E.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

Cultivars vary considerably in their tolerance of postproduction disorders. Low fertilizer rates minimizes leaf drop. Plants must be shipped at temperatures between 13 and 16 deg C to avoid bract discoloration resulting from chilling injury. Light levels indoors must be equal to or greater than 7 to 10 micromol/m2.s unless temperature is between 16 and 21 deg C to avoid leaf drop.
