HISTORY :-
 THE FLORISTS' POTTED CHRYSANTHEMUM IS A COMPLEX
HYBRID COMPOSED OF CROSSES AMONG SEVERAL ANNUAL
AND PERENNIAL SPECIES NATIVE TO CHINA.
THOUGH GROWN BY THE CHINESE FOR OVER 2000 YEARS,
CULTIVARS WERE NOT AVAILABLE IN EUROPE UNTIL THE
1800S.
IN THE UNITED STATES AROUND 1889, ELMER D. SMITH
HYBRIDIZED AND NAMED OVER 500 CULTIVARS.
 HOWEVER, REAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE
CHRYSANTHEMUM AS A POT CROP HAS OCCURRED SINCE
THE 1940'S.
 THE CHRYSANTHEMUM USED IN POT CULTURE TODAY IS A
HARDY OR SEMI-HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIAL WITH
FLOWERS IN A WIDE RANGE OF COLORS.

SOIL :-
SOIL SHOULD BE LEVELLED
PROPERLY.
COCOPEAT SHOULD BE
ADDED TO IMPROVE
STRUCTURE & WATER
HOLDING CAPACITY.
IF GROWING 1ST TIME,
SOIL SHOULD BE
DISINFECTED USING
FORMALDEHYDE. 19

20
PLANTING MATERIALS
:-
USE DISEASE FREE PLANTING
MATERIALS FROM A REPUTED SOURCE.
COLOUR PREFERANCE SHOULD GIVEN
ON WHITE, YELLOW OR RED & PINK.
SELECTED PLANTS SHOULD HAVE
CAPABILITY OF PRODUCING ATTRACTIVE
BLOOMS WITH TOUGH PETALS &
UNIFORMITY IN BLOOMING.

21
PLANTING METHOD:-
CUTTINGS ARE PLANTED ON BEDS OF
ABOUT 12- 15CM WIDE.
IRON NETS ARE USED FOR UNIFORM
DISTRIBUTION.
PLANTS SHOULD BE PLANTED WITH
THEIR ROOTS FULLY IN THE SOIL &
WELL PRESSED TO MAKE GOOD
CONTACT WITH SOIL.A DENSITY OF 30-
48 PLANTS SHOULD MAINTAINED PER
METER SQUARE.
PLANTS ARE ALSO RAISED IN POTS OR
BENCHES.

22
WATER MANAGEMENT :-
A GOOD CONTROL OVER WATER
SUPPLY AND IT’S DISTRIBUTION
CAN BE MADE BY INSTALLING
DRIPS AND OVERHEAD ROTATING
SPRINKLER.
IMMIDIEATLY AFTER PLANTING AT
THE END OF CROP WHEN FLOWER
OPEN OVERHEAD IRRIGATION IS
STOPPED & WATERING DONE BY
PIPES.

23
MIST :-
 UNIFORM MIST TO KEEP CUTTING TURGID DURING ROOTING IS VITAL.
EXCESSIVE MIST WILL LEACH NUTRIENTS FROM THE MEDIUM AND
LEAVES, OVER-SATURATE THE MEDIUM REDUCING AERATION, AND
STRETCH THE CUTTINGS
.
INADEQUATE MIST CAUSES WILTING, NECROTIC LEAF MARGINS, AND
HARD CUTTINGS THAT DO NOT ROOT UNIFORMLY. CUTTINGS
SHOULD NEVER WILT! THUS, A CONTINUOUS FILM OF MOISTURE
SHOULD COVER THE LEAVES UNTIL ROOTS FORM.
THE FREQUENCY (HOW OFTEN THE MIST TURNS ON)
AND DURATION (LENGTH OF TIME THE MIST IS ON) OF MIST DEPENDS
ON MANY ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND VARIES FROM SEASON TO
SEASON AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

24
THIS IS USUALLY CONTROLLED BY
PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS SUCH AS
AN AUTOMATIC MIST CONTROLLER.
MIST NOZZLE CAPACITY AND SPACING SHOULD
BE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE UNIFORM COVERAGE
OVER THE PROPAGATION AREA.
 THE MIST DURATION SHOULD BE LONG ENOUGH
TO COVER THE FOLIAGE WITH A FILM OF WATER
AND DEPENDS ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE
SYSTEM.
MIST MAY BE REQUIRED AT NIGHT TO KEEP
CUTTINGS TURGID DURING THE FIRST 3-4 DAYS.
AFTERWARD, MIST IS APPLIED FROM 1 HOUR
BEFORE SUNRISE TO 1 HOUR AFTER SUNSET.
 TESTS OF THE QUALITY OF THE WATER SUPPLIED
TO THE MIST SYSTEM SHOULD BE DONE TO
DETERMINE ALKALINITY. HIGH ALKALINITY CAN
INCREASE THE PH OF THE PROPAGATION MEDIUM
AND CAUSE CHLOROSIS OF THE FOLIAGE DURING
PROPAGATION.

25
LIGHT -
 LIGHT INTENSITIES SHOULD
BE 3200-3800 FT.CA.
SHADING IN THE SUMMER IS
USUALLY NEEDED NOT ONLY
TO REDUCE THE LIGHT
INTENSITY BUT TO ALSO
CONTROL HEAT.
NIGHT-BREAK INCANDESCENT
LIGHTING TO SIMULATE LONG
DAYS IS MANDATORY.
HID SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHT IS
USEFUL DURING LOW-LIGHT
PERIODS.

26
TEMPERATURE -
 FACILITIES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO
KEEP THE AIR TEMPERATURE 70-85F.
 HEATING IN WINTER SHOULD NOT
DROP BELOW 68F.
 BOTTOM HEAT TO KEEP THE
PROPAGATION MEDIUM 70-74F
DRAMATICALLY SPEEDS ROOTING.
 IMMPROPER TEMPERATURE CAUSES
UNEVEN BUD SET.
 BUD SET LIGHT PERIOD IS 14½ HOURS
OR LESS AND FLOWER DEVELOPMENT
TAKES PLACE WHEN DAYLIGHT IS 13½
HOURS OR LESS.
 VEGETATIVE GROWTH LIGHT PERIOD
IS LESS THAN 12½ HOURS

27
MEDIA -
ALMOST ANY WELL-DRAINED, COURSE MEDIUM CAN BE
USED TO ROOT CHRYSANTHEMUMS. THIS MAY BE CELLS,
FLATS, STRIPS, OR POTS CONTAINING PEAT-LITE MEDIA,
ROCKWOOL, FOAMS, OR OTHER ARTIFICIAL MEDIA. CUTTING
ARE USUALLY STUCK 1" APART IN ROWS AND 1-2" BETWEEN
ROWS.
ROOTING HORMONE -
ROOTING HORMONES CONTAINING IBA OR NAA MAY NOT
SPEED ROOTING BUT INCREASE ROOTING UNIFORMITY.
LIQUIDS OR TALKS CONTAINING 1500 PPM IBA SHOULD BE
APPLIED TO THE LOWER -�" OF THE CUTTING.

28
PROPAGATION ENVIRONMENT :-
THE PROPAGATION AREA SHOULD BE ISOLATED SO THE
RELATIVE HUMIDITY CAN BE MAINTAINED CLOSE TO 100%
AND BE LARGE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE ABOUT 3 WEEKS
OF PRODUCTION. LARGER, UNUSED AREAS MAKE THE
ENVIRONMENT MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.
SANITATION -
THE PROPAGATION SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED AND
EQUIPPED TO KEEP EVERYTHING THAT MAY COME IN
CONTACT WITH THE CUTTINGS DISINFECTED. BENCH
SURFACES AND FLOORS SHOULD BE EASY TO CLEAN AND
FREE OF WEEDS.

29
GROWTH RETARDANTS -
THIS IS USED ON CERTAIN VIGOROUS CULTIVARS DURING
WARM TIMES OF THE YEARS TO PREVENT STRETCH AND
PRODUCE A COMPACT PLANT.
CUTTING ARE DIPPED INTO B-NINE AT 1000 PPM AND
PLACED IN PLASTIC BAGS IN A COOLER OVERNIGHT, THEN
STUCK THE NEXT MORNING.
NUTRITION -
MANY GROWERS BEGIN FERTILIZING CHRYSANTHEMUM
CUTTING AS SOON AS CALLUS FORMS (4-7 DAYS) USING A
BALANCED FERTILIZER AT 200-250 PPM N.
 SOME GROWERS APPLY A DILUTE SOLUTION OF POTASSIUM
NITRATE THROUGH THE MIST SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST
SEVERAL DAYS.

30
SPECIAL INTERCULURE
:-
PINCHING OR STOPPING:-
TO ARREST UPWARD GROWTH PINCHING
IS DONE BY REMOVING THE TERMINALS
.IT INCREASES NO.OF FLOWERING STEMS
TIME OF FLOWERING & BLOOM QUALITY.
DISBUDDING :-
STANDARD TYPE ARE DISBUDDED BY
RETAINING THE LARGEST TERMINAL
BUD & REMOVING LATERAL BUDS.
SPRAY TYPES ARE DISBUDDED BY
REMOVING THE LARGE APICAL BUD.

32
LIFTING IN :-
 PLANTS ARE GENERALLY LIFTED INTO THE GREENHOUSE
IN SEPTEMBER OR EARLY OCTOBER BEFORE ANY HEAVY
FROSTS OCCUR.
 THE GREEN-HOUSE IS KEPT FULLY VENTILATED FOR A FEW
WEEKS NO HEAT BEING NECESSARY AT THIS STAGE AND
THEREAFTER HEAT IS GIVEN AT THE 45-50°F. LEVEL.
 WATERING AND FEEDING IS CONTINUED.
 PARTICULAR ATTENTION ALSO BEING PAID TO PEST AND
DISEASE CONTROL, ESPECIALLY MILDEW WHICH CAN BE
LARGELY PREVENTED BY ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

33
HARVESTING INDICES:-
STANDARD TYPE:
FOR DISTANT MARKET : HARVESTED WHEN FEW OUTER ROW OF
FLORETS START UNFURLING.
FOR LOCAL MARKET : HARVESTED WHEN HEAD HAS OPENED 50%
OF IT’S RAY.
SPRAY TYPE :
FOR DISTANT MARKET :WHEN RAY FLORETS SHOW 50% COLOUR.
FOR LOCAL MARKET : WHEN 2 ROWS OF FLOWER HAVE OPENED &
OTHER ARE SHOWING COLOURS.

34
YIELD:-
UNDER OPEN:-
STANDARD : 2.5 TO 4.5 LAKH/HA
SPRAY : 1.5 – 1.75 LAKH/HA
UNDER GREEN HOUSE CONDITION :
150-250 FLOWER STEMS
PER METER SQUARE PER
YEAR.

RETARDED AND INVLOUCRAL BRACTS BECOME
GROSSLY ENLARGED. THIS IS OBSERVED IN PLANTS
GROWN IN LONG DAYS AFTER RECEIVING A FEW SHORT
DAYS
PHYSIOLOGICAL DISORDERS :-

61
CHLOROSIS :- OR YELLOWING OF THE UPPER
FOLIAGE, IS GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH OVER
WATERING, NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY OR EXCESSIVE
FERTILIZER IN THE SOIL, OR INSECTS OR DISEASES
ATTACKING THE ROOT SYSTEM. PROPER NUTRIENT
AND PLANT PROTECTION MEASURES OVER COME
THIS PROBLEM.
BLEACHING OF PETALS :– HIGH
