Influence of bulb packing systems on forcing of Dutch-grown Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) as flowering potted plants in North America.

Dutch-grown Hippeastrum bulbs (cultivars Apple Blossom and Red Lion) were packed in 5 readily available and economical packing systems, and after transport (to USA) and storage, were evaluated as flowering potted plants. After being harvested (on 6 October 1992) and graded, bulbs were specially packed and placed in perforated cardboard boxes, shipped by boat to Raleigh, North Carolina (arrived 21 October 1992), and stored in the original packing materials for 84 days at 48 deg F (9 deg C). At planting time, the best old basal root system and lowest disease incidence for both cultivars was obtained when bulbs were packed with hout-wol [wood wool] in perforated polyethylene bags and placed in perforated cardboard boxes. Plants from bulbs with this system and those packed loose in polyethylene bags flowered the earliest. Packing system did not significantly affect floral stalk length, number of flowers/stalk or overall flower quality. The best rooting systems were produced by bulbs packed in hout-w

ol. Significant differences were observed between cultivars: Apple Blossom flowered earlier but produced fewer roots and lower quality plants than Red Lion.
