TUBEROSE (properly _tuber-ose,_ not _tube-rose,_ fromits specific name, _Polianthes tuberosa_).--This plant,with its tall spikes of waxen and fragrant white flowers, iswell known in the middle latitudes, but usually requiresmore heat and a longer season than are commonlypresent in the most northern states.The tuberose is astrong feeder, and loves warmth, plenty of water whilegrowing, and a deep, rich, and well-drained soil. The bulbsmay be set in the garden or border the last of May or inJune, covering them about 1 inch deep. Preparatory toplanting, the old dead roots at the base of the bulbshould be cut away and the pips or young bulbs about thesides removed. After keeping them till their scars are driedover, these pips may be planted 5 or 6 inches apart indrills, and with good soil and cultivation they will makeblooming bulbs for the following year.

Before planting the large bulbs, it may be well to examinethe points, to determine whether they are likely to bloom.The tuberose blooms but once. If there is a hard, woodypiece of old stem in the midst of the dry scales at theapex of the bulb, it has bloomed, and is of no valueexcept for producing pips. Likewise if, instead of a solidcore, there is a brownish, dry cavity extending from thetip down into the middle of the bulb, the heart has rottedor dried up, and the bulb is worthless as far as blooming isconcerned.

Bulbs of blooming size set in the border in June flowertoward the close of September. They may be made toflower three or four weeks sooner by starting them earlyin some warm place, where they may be given atemperature of about 60 to 70. Prepare the bulbs asabove, and place them with their tips just above thesurface in about 3-or 4-inch pots, in light sandy soil.Water them thoroughly, afterwards sparingly, till theleaves have made considerable growth. These plants maybe turned out into the open ground the last of May or inJune, and will probably flower in early September.

In the northern states, if planted in the border they willnot start into growth until the ground has becomethoroughly warm,--usually after the middle of June,--making the season before frost too short for their perfectgrowth and flower. If any danger of fall frost is feared,they may be lifted into pots or boxes and taken into thehouse, when they will bloom without a check. As withother bulbs, a sandy soil will suit.

Just before frost dig up the bulbs, cut off the tops towithin 2 inches of the apex of the bulb. They may then beplaced in shallow boxes and left out in the sun and air fora week or more, to cure. Each evening, if the nights arecold, they should be removed to some room where the

temperature will not fall below 40. When the outer scaleshave become dry, the remaining soil may be shaken offand the bulbs stored away in shallow boxes for thewinter. They keep best in a temperature of 45 to 50. Itshould never fall below 40.

JASMINE Package of practicesVarieties

The species-wise recommended varieties are Gundumalli(Jasminum sambac), Co-1 and Co-2 (J. Auriculatum) andCo-1 and Co-2 (J. Grandiflorum).

Soil and Climate

Jasmine can be cultivated in wide range of soils i.e., fromsandy loam to clay soils. However, it comes up well in welldrained rich sandy loam soils. The ideal conditions forsuccessful cultivation are warm summer with ample watersupply and sunny days.

Land Preparation and Planting

One or two initial ploughings are required to remove theweeds present in the land, which is followed by digging ofpits at a size of 30cm3. Each pit should be applied 10 kgof Farm Yard Manure (FYM) before filling the pits. Plantingshould be done during June-November at a spacing of1.5m x 1.5m.

Irrigation

First irrigation should be given immediately after plantingand subsequent irrigation at an interval of 7-10 daysdepending upon the weather conditions and soil type.

Manuring

It is recommended that each plant should be applied with10 kg of FYM and 60 g of Nitrogen and 120 g each ofPhosphorus and Potassium and should be applied in twosplit doses i.e., once after annual pruning and againduring June-July.

Inter Cultural Operations

Weeding and strengthening of irrigation channels andbunds are the intercultural operations followed for jasminecultivation. The first weeding should be done 20-25 daysafter planting and subsequent weedings are done once in2-3 months.

Pruning

Training is basically done to give the desired shape to theplant whereas, pruning is done to get the desired crop.Normally, irrigation is withheld prior to pruning and plantsare pruned by removing all past season shoots includingdead and diseased branches. It is advisable to prune theplants during the last week of November to get increasedyield and quality flowers.

Plant Protection



1. Pests - Bud worm, blossom midge and red spider miteare the major pests of jasmine. Spraying ofmonocrotophos 36 WSC @ 2ml /l is recommended tocontrol bud worm and blossom midge. To control the redspider mite, spraying of sulfur (50% WP) @ 2g / l isrecommended.

2. Diseases - Nematode and root rot are the majordiseases attacking the jasmine crop. Control measures forNematode - 10 g of Temic granules/plant near root zoneand for Root rot - Drench the soil around plant withCopper oxychloride @ 2.5 g / l .

Dear Mr. Parabu,

TUBEROSE (Poliantha tuberosa)Tuberose occupies a very special position among theornamental bulbous plants because of its prettiness,elegance and fragrance. It has good economic potentialfor loose/cut flower trade and essential oil industry.

Cultivars

There are four groups of cultivars as given below:

1. Single: Flower is pure white and has only a single rowof corolla segments. Cultivars are Sringar, Culcutta Single,Mexican Single and Suvarna Rekha.

2. Double: Flowers are white, tinged with pinkish red.Petals are in several whorls. Cultivars are Suvasini,Culcutta Double and Pearl.

3. Semi-double: Similar to double but with only 2 to 3rows of corolla segments.

4. Variegated: This has variegated leaves with yellowmargins.

Soil

Porous, well-drained sandy loam soils are the best suitedfor tuberose cultivation.

Propagation is by bulbs. Boat shaped bulbs of size 2 to 3cm are preferred for planting. About 1.25 to 1.50 lakhbulbs (800 to 900 kg) are required for planting onehectare.

Cultural practices

Land is prepared well by ploughing two or three times.FYM @ 30 t/ha is mixed well with soil. Best time forplanting is May-July. The bulbs preferably those of size 2-5 cm or above are to be planted at a depth of 7-10 cm,with a spacing of 20 x 25 cm. A fertilizer dosage of100:50:50 kg/ha N:P2O5 :K2O is recommended. Of these,half N, complete P2O5 and K2O are applied at the time ofplanting. Remaining N is applied when the flower spikesstart to appear. A heavy irrigation once in 5-10 days isnecessary depending upon the weather conditions. Thepeak flowering is between June and October.

Ratoon crop

After the harvest of the main crop, the flower stalks areheaded back and the plot is manured and irrigated. Threeor four ratoon crops can be taken from single planting. Ifthe bulbs are not uprooted and replanted after three orfour ratoons, the spikes tend to become smaller andunattractive.

Plant protection

Slugs and grass hoppers, which feed on the leaves, andthrips which damage and cause distortion of the spikesare the major pests. Malathion and carbaryl are effectiveagainst these pests. Wherever nematode problems occur,application of carbofuran is recommended. No majordisease is noticed. Sclerotium fungus, which attacks theleaves and flower stalks at ground level causes defoliationand toppling of spikes. This can be controlled bydrenching of soil around the plant with fungicides.

Harvest and yield

Tuberose is harvested by cutting the spikes from the basefor table decoration or the individual flower is picked fromthe spike for making garlands and other floral ornaments.The average yield of flower is as follows.Plant crop: 5-10 t/haFirst ratoon: 9-12 t/haSecond ratoon: 4-6 t/ha

JASMINE (Jasminum spp.)Jasmine is an important flower crop that could be grownon a commercial scale in Kerala. Jasminum sambac is themost ideal species for cultivation in Kerala. The flowersare used for preparing garlands. The jasmine oil has greatexport potential in addition to its use for medicinalpurpose.



Important cultivarsThere are trailing, climbing, and erect growing species andcultivars. Three important species and their varieties aregiven below:

1. Jasminum sambac: Gundumalli, Motia, Virupakshi,Sujimalli, Madanabanam, Ramabanam.

2. Jasminum grandiflorum: Co-1 Pitchi, Co-2 Pitchi,Thimmapuram, Lucknow.

3. Jasminum auriculatum: Co-1 Mulla, Co-2 Mulla, LongPoint, Long Round, Short Point, Short Round.

Soil and climate

Jasmine can be planted on a wide range of soils. Well-drained sandy loams and red loams are ideal for itscultivation. In clayey soils, there is increased vegetativegrowth and reduced flowering. They give good yield in lowrainfall conditions.

Propagation

Layering and cutting are the main propagation methods.Better rooting of cuttings can be obtained by planting incoarse sand and also by using any of the rootinghormones like IBA (5000 ppm), IAA (1000 ppm) and NAA(5000 ppm). Simple and compound layering methods arefollowed during June-July to October-November. Layerswill be ready for planting within 90-120 days.

Planting

After ploughing the land, pits of about 40 x 40 x 40 cmsize are taken and filled with topsoil and 15 kg well-rottenFYM.Planting distance depends on the species and also on soiland environmental conditions.

Species Planting distance J. sambac J.auriculatum J.grandiflorum 1.2 x 1.2 m1.8 x 1.8 m2.0 x 1.5 m

Planting is usually done during June-August.

Manuring

Each plant requires a fertilizer dose of 120 g N, 240 gP2O5 and 240 g K2O. The fertilizers are mixed togetherand applied in two split doses during January and July.This has to be supplemented with organic manures likeneem cake, groundnut oil cake etc. at the rate of 100 gper plant per month.



Pruning

Pruning is essential and is done at a height of 45 cm fromthe ground level during mid December-January.

Weed control

Manual weeding is effective but expensive. Use ofweedicides like paraquat is also practised. Mulching alsoreduces weed population.

Irrigation

Constant and adequate water supply duringpeak flowering season (March-October) is essential forhigh yield of flowers. After flowering is over, the watersupply can be cut off. During summer, irrigate twice aweek.

Pests

Jasmine is comparatively a hardy plant. Major pests arebud and shoot borers and blossom midge, which can becontrolled by spraying 0.15-0.20% carbaryl.

Diseases

Leaf blight: Can be controlled by spraying 0.2% mancozebor 0.1% benomyl

Fusarium wilt: Drench the soil with 1% Bordeaux mixture.

Rust: Controlled by spraying 0.2% zineb.

Yield

Yield of flowers and jasmine oil vary according to thespecies and management practices.

Species Flower yield (t/ha) Oil yield (kg/ha) J. sambac J. auriculatum J.grandiflorum 5 56 15.44 28.00 29.00

Dear Sir

Jasmin grandiflorum. One acre of land holds approximately800-900 plants depending on the spacing. During theheight of the season one plant can yield as much as 350grams(12.5 ounces) of flowers per day. A yield of 2000kilos(4400 lbs) of flowers per year can be gathered froman acre of land if it is well tended.
