“…This plant group is composed of more than 800 geni [2]; one of them, Hippeastrum, is commonly known as amaryllis, lily, or empress flower [3]. Hippeastrum genus, belonging to the family Amaryllidaceae, comprises 70 to 90 species and more than 600 cultivars and hybrids; its origin center is Eastern Brazil [4] that holds 40 native species [5].…”

“…Amaryllis inflorescences are terminal, with big flowers, and colors varying with species, hybrid, and variety, but ranging from dark red to white, green, orange, and corresponding mixtures [2] [4] [5]. Amaryllis plants are produced commercially as cut flowers, pot plants, or propagation material (bulb), besides being also used for gardening and landscaping [1].…”

Amaryllis plants (Hippeastrum hybrid, in the family Amaryllidaceae) are cultivated in Brazil mainly for bulb export. Studies about the nutrient accumulation dynamics by the species are yet incipient when considering Brazilian cultivation conditions. The objective was to determine the nutrient accumulation in amaryllis "Orange Souvereign" cultivated in the field. The experimental design was entirely randomized with four replications and 14 collection periods (at 30,

Growth analysis of amaryllis (Hippeastrum x hybridum Hort.) grown in full sunCultivation of amaryllis (Hippeastrum X hybridum Hort.) is mainly intended for production and commercialization of bulbs for export. Information on amaryllis growth cycle is still inconsistent, therefore this study was carried out to gather data that will contribute to studies on growth analysis of amaryllis var. Orange Souvereign in full sun. The experiment was arranged in a complete randomized design, with 4 repetitions and 10 plants per repetition for each analyzed characteristic. Plants were grown in an area of 2 ha and data were collected monthly over a 14 month period. The leaf area determined at the end of the experiment was on average 3102.65 cm 2 , considering 10 leaves per plant. Bulb diameter increased gradually throughout the period of production, ending, at 420 days after planting, with 9.15 cm on average. Total fresh mass at the end of the cycle was on average 1050.55 g, of which 39 % consisted of bulb fresh mass, Utilizaram-se plantas cultivadas em uma área de 2 ha, onde os dados foram coletados mensalmente, durante 14 meses, de forma aleatória. Para cada uma das características analisadas foram utilizadas quatro repetições de 10 plantas. A área foliar determinada ao final do experimento foi de, em média, 3.102,65 cm 2 , tendo em vista 10 folhas por planta. O diâmetro do bulbo aumentou, gradualmente, durante todo o período de produção, finalizando aos 420 dias após plantio, com 9,15 cm em média. A massa fresca total ao final do ciclo foi de, em média, 1.050,55 g, dos quais 39% (410 g) foram de massa fresca obtida pelo bulbo da forma como é comercializado (bulbo + raízes). Os índices fisiológicos da análise de crescimento (taxa de crescimento absoluto, taxa de crescimento relativo, taxa de assimilação líquida e razão de área foliar) demonstraram o comportamento da planta no campo, tendo o sistema assimilatório atingido bom desempenho nas condições de cultivo. O crescimento de amarílis foi considerado satisfatório do ponto de vista comercial.Palavras-chave: Hippeastrum x hybridum Hort., floricultura, plantas ornamentais, índices fisiológicos.

“…The collection of ornamental Alstroemeria and Hippeastrum species native to Brazil, started in 1989, aimed to create different types of plants and flowers from those then existing as commercial varieties. Other interesting genera have been collected because of their showy flowers or aspects of growth habit; they include Griffinia (Amaryllidaceae), Neomarica (Iridaceae), Gomphrena (Amaranthaceae) (Tombolato and Matthes, 1998). New varieties of Eucrosia (Roh et al, 1992;Meerow et al, 1992) were developed and are already produced commercially.…”

Production of Flower Bulbs in Regions With Warm Climates

The cultivation of ornamental bulbs is no longer limited to countries with a moderate climate. The production of high-quality bulbs and flowers in warm regions has become important during the last decade, and is encouraged by relatively cheap labor and the expansion of international trade. In spite of the fact that for commercial bulb production in warm-climate areas, species without chilling requirements are more suitable, thermo-periodic bulbs might also be grown successfully. Moreover, the potential for flower production in these regions is evident: since the light intensity is relatively high and winter temperatures are appropriate for flower development, cut flowers and potted plants can be produced in these areas during the off-season, and transported to markets in other countries. The Israeli experience in bulb and flower production provides a good example of the development of special strategies for warm climates. Bulbs of Hippeastrum, Narcissus, Anemone, Ranunculus, Ornithogalum and other species, adapted to relatively high temperatures, are grown commercially on a large scale. At the same time, the production of thermo-periodic bulbs with chilling requirements (Tulipa, Allium, Eremurus) allows us to meet specific market demands. Greenhouse flowers, produced during the winter and early spring are sold at high prices in the international market, but their production requires precise knowledge of the flowering physiology of the species, as well as a high level of growth technologies. Various aspects of the development of bulb and flower production in warm countries, as well as the research needed for this branch of the ornamental industry, will be discussed.
