Commercial Floriculture

Seed bed Preparation

Nursery
Generally sowing should be staggered by 10 – 15 days, so that one can get flowers for longer time and also can avoid glut in the market.
Seeds can be sown in seed pans for obtaining seedlings for garden use and in small quantities.
For commercial cultivation, seed is sown in raised beds measuring120x60x10cms (LxBxH).
The seeds are sown thinly to avoid lanky tall seedlings.
The seeds are sown at 10 -12cms apart and covered with a mixture of soil and FYM.
After sowing, the beds should be watered gently with a rose can.
