Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Experiment with bulbs of lilium asiatic hybrids Prato and Lilium pumilumu. Effects on the perimeter and fresh weight of bulbs and carbohydrate contents of lily bulb treated with methyl jasmonate were studied. It made clear that the perimeter and fresh weight increased significantly by spraying 5 mg/L MJ, The starch content and the soluble sugar content and the soluble protein content of lily bulb also increased by spraying 5 mg/LMJ. The perimeter and fresh weight and carbohydrates in bulbs were reaching maximum by prayting 0.5 mg/L MJ. Bulb development is closely related to the accumulation of carbohydrates. The accumulation of carbohydrate is benefit for development of lily bulb development. Keywords: Lilium; Bulb development; Methyl jasmonate;Foliar spraying
