Summary

PARTLY COOLED: 278 K (5 DEG C) TULIP < APELDOORN > WERE TREATED WITH GIBBERELLINS BY VACUUM INFILTRATION, WITH A VIEW TO DEFINING CONDITIONS SUITABLE FOR EXPLOITING THE EFFECTS OF GA ON FORCED TULIPS. THE FIRST EXPERIMENT WAS EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING THE GLASSHOUSE PERIOD FOLLOWING 6 OR MORE WEEKS COLD STORAGE ; WITH LESS THAN 6 WEEKS COLD STORAGE, EFFECTS WERE LESS MARKED. THE EFFECT OF GA3 CONCENTRATION (UP TO 1.500 MILLIGRAM/L) WAS STUDIED USING VACUUM INFILTRATION TREATMENTS FOR 1-15 MINAT 2.7 TO 68 KPASCAL, WHICH RESULTED IN FEWER FLOWER LOSSES. FURTHER EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED WITH VACUUM INFILTRATION AT 34.7 KPASCAL FOR 15 MIN.
