CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENT OF THE CARNATION PROTECTED CULTIVATION
Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Greenhouse carnations (American carnations) were obtained from the crossing between Dianthus caryophyllus and Dianthus chinensis. The majority of cultivars are placed in Sim group characterized by high flower and plant vigor. Mediterranean carnations were obtained by crossing American and Nice carnations. During the summer, the cultures need shading to reduce with 50-75% full light intensity, substantial aeration being one of important factors for the culture success. Cultivation substrate must be rich in organic matter and nutrient content, pH level of 6-7. To ensure adequate branching and establishment of bushes it is recommended to trim the shoots 2-3 times and after full development of floral stems, to trim lateral shoots and supplementary floral buds. The carnations bloom after 160-190 days since planting. The harvesting is performed manually by snapping the floral stems at internodes or by cutting with scissors or harvester knives. Carnation flowers have long vase life, up to 14-17days at room temperature. Cultivation of carnations is profitable but must be adapted to the applied technology.
