Commercial Floriculture

Planting

May-June planting resulted in well developed plants with good flowers. Cut flower production was the highest from May plantings. 90,000 to 1, 10,000 suckers or slips obtained from 15 cents of the previous crops are required to plant one hectare. Before planting, the roots of the suckers or slips are dipped in wet Cerasan or Agallol 0.1% to protect against wilt. The field has to be ploughed thrice during March and beds or ridges and furrows are formed.
