Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Palampur during 1995-96 and 1996-97 to study the effect of foliar sprays of
2- chloroethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, after carrying out deflowering at the early stage of flower emergence on
the production and development of bulbs and bulblets of 4 cultivars of tulip (Tulipa gesnerana L.). Treatment with 2-chloroethyl
trimethyl ammonium chloride was found to be effective in increasing the production and sIze of bulbs and
bulblets with 2-chloroethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 1 000 ppm being the most effective treatment. This treatment
has increased the bulb yield by 48.2%, bulb weight by 116.2%, bulb circurmfetence by 19 3%, bulblet production
by 29.1 % and bulblet weight by 56.8% compared with the untreated plants.
