“…In the first experiment the sets were planted in. December 1976, and the crowns lifted for forcing in December 1978, after receiving 212 cold units as recommended by Loughton (1965); in the second experiment, sets were planted in December 1978, and lifted in December 1980^ after receiving 368 cold units. Crowns in both experiments were forced in sheds maintained at 13°C.…”

Ten commercial stocks of rhubarb cv. Timperley Early were found to be infected with turnip mosaic, arabis mosaic and to a lesser extent cherry leaf roll, strawberry latent ringspot and cucumber mosaic viruses. Significant yield differences were recorded between the stocks in forcing experiments, but these were not related to virus incidence. The performance of a mixture of these infected commercial stocks was compared with that of virus‐tested stocks in canning, early green‐pulled, and forcing experiments. A significant yield advantage was recorded in the first 2 years from the virus‐tested stock harvested for canning, but not in the other two experiments. Of the five viruses isolated, turnip mosaic most frequently reinfected virus‐tested stocks and there appeared to be a connection between reinfection of the healthy plants and subsequent reduction in their yield.

SynopsisThe effect of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), water, temperature and nutrition on frond emergence, vegetative frond production, fertile frond production, vegetative propagation and dormancy is examined. Ostrich fern plants will not break winter dormancy until they have received a minimum amount of cold exposure below a base temperature which is above 5.8°C and may be as high as 20°C. After the plants have received their chilling requirement, vegetative frond emergence does not occur until temperatures at or above ca. 9.3°C are reached. Percent germination and rate of emergence increases up to ca. 24°C. Photosynthetic photon flux density, water availability and mineral nutrition can affect both vegetative and fertile frond production but water availability appears to be the most critical. A mild water stress of −0.15MPa can have significant effects on water status and gas exchange in fronds. Sporophyte plants for field production have been produced vegetatively from detached meristems occurring naturally on the rhizomes, and through fertilization of axenic gametophytes.
