Commercial Floriculture

Bulking up of bulbs

• For the first time, the undersized certified bulbs are needed to be planted in the open field as early as possible in spring.
  
• The bulbs have to be irrigated, fertilized and grown as any other bulb crop in cool, clean, moist, pest free land.
  
• The flowers should be removed as they appear. When foliage has died back into the bulb, they are lifted out.
  
• Bulbs are cleaned, graded and kept in cold storage.
