“…All the cultivars of C. alismatifolia and C. thorelii "Chiang Mai Snow" were considered suitable for cut flower and potted plants. Similar morphological characteristics between C. thorelii "Chiang Mai Snow" and C. parviflora "White Angel" emphasized that the identification of Curcuma accessions using DNAmarkers is required for future investigations (Roh et al, 2006). Sujatha and Sujatha (2006) evaluated four species of Curcuma for cut-flower use.…”

The Ornamental Curcuma 13The cut-flower industry is growing in several parts of the world and there is a huge market for the same in India, as well as in overseas countries. For Indians engaged in this enterprise, it is a money spinner. The boom has occurred especially during the last decade. Many cut flowers are sent from India to overseas countries, the Netherlands being a very important destination. Turmeric also falls in this category and ornamental Curcuma falls in this category of exportable tropical cut flowers. The beautiful and attractive flowers of the inflorescence, arising from the apical buds of the underground rhizomes are the ones cut and exported or locally consumed. The turmeric cut-flower group is a new entrant into the cut-flower (floriculture) industry in India. The cut flowers from India occupy the ninth position among those traded in the Dutch market auctions. The flowers are popularly cultivated in Southeast Asian countries, for both the domestic and export markets. Some of the popular ornamental Curcuma species include Curcuma alismatifolia, Curcuma zedoaria, Curcuma amada, and Curcuma angustifolia. The crop is amenable for hybridization and a large number of promising hybrids have been developed. Studies are also being conducted across the world on various aspects of cultivation, such as the use of growth regulators, shade levels, photoperiodic responses, storage of rhizomes, postharvest physiology, and so forth. Since some of the species are native to India, there is potential to develop new varieties and technologies for commercial cultivation.Gingers form an important group of tropical flowers of which Curcuma are known for their beauty and elegance. Having originated in the Indo-Malayan region, the genus is widely distributed in the tropics of Asia to Africa, including Australia (Sasikumar, 2005). The maximum diversity is concentrated in India and Thailand, with at least 40 species in each region, followed by Myanmar (Burma), Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Vietnam.Curcuma occupies the ninth position in the cut-flower trade in the Dutch auction market. World over, the market for tropical flowers is small, representing approximately 4% of all cut flowers traded. Germany, Italy, and the United States are the chief importers of tropical flowers. In Dutch auctions, the change in turnover for Curcuma is 2.8% in a period of 4 years (Table 13.1). The trade of these flowers is characterized by standard products, large volumes of one or a few chosen varieties, efficiently produced against the background of minimal costs.

“…그 중에서 가장 인기가 있는 (Bunyaatichart et al, 2004;Roh et al, 2006) Curcuma alismatifolia 계통은 태국과 캄보디아가 주 원산지인 열대식물이다 (Hagiladi et al, 1997a). 꽃(화서)은 수상화서로 분홍, 적색, 백색, 노랑 등 여러 가지 색깔의 화포(bract)가 모여 있으며 화형과 크기 가 서로 다른 약 65종의 품종이 절화, 분화 및 관상식물로 이용되고 있다 (Wannakrairot, 1997).…”

Inflorescence Development of Curcuma alismatifolia ‘Chiangmai Pink’

Curcuma alismatifolia is becoming popular for cut flowers and potted plants due to its long inflorescence with many showy pink flowers. It is propagated by rhizomes and inflorescences that are similar to those of lotus. However, initiation of inflorescence development of each bract and flower has not been investigated. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to study the inflorescence development of Curcuma alismatifolia 'Chiangmai Pink' by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When new shoots grew to 15-20 cm in a greenhouse at 25°C, the first bract initiated with a dome-shaped inflorescence apex, followed by initiation of additional bracts, forming the shape of the flower head. Florets were subtended by the first bract when five to seven bracts were formed. Four to six florets were subtended by each bract. The floret positioned in the center initiated and progressed upward first. When the center florets in the upper bracts were formed, florets next to the center floret subtended by the first bract were formed, and formation of the axillary florets progressed upward in sequential order.

“…Poor rhizome formation occurred when many Curcuma species or cultivars received 6.6 g L −1 from 30 nitrogen (N)-13 phosphorus (P)-8 potassium (K) water soluble fertilizer plus slow release fertilizer (Roh et al, 2006). Short day photoperiods promoted rhizome formation of C. alismatifolia as compared to long day photoperiods (Hagildi et al, 1997).…”

“…High levels of boron or manganese were correlated with necrotic leaf margins [leaf-margin burn, (LMB)] and were observed in older leaves of 'CMU Pride' at flowering (Roh et al, 2006). Although LMB affected the quality of foliage of 'CMU Pride', flowering and rhizome production was not affected by high levels of boron or manganese.…”

“…The large, concave or hooded bracts are considered the showiest feature of the plants (Bailey, 1925;Watson and Dallwitz, 1992). Long post-harvest life as cut flowers (more than three to four weeks) and long post-production life as potted plants are also significant (Roh et al, 2006). Rhizomes can be purchased or re-harvested after forcing for cut flowers or potted plant production.…”

This study investigated the effect of liquid fertilizer treatments on growth, flowering, leaf mineral content, and rhizome production during forcing of Curcuma alismatifolia 'Chiang Mai Pink' and C. thorelii 'Chiang Mai Snow'. Plants were irrigated with 200 mL of 1.3 g L −1 of 15 nitrogen (N) -7 phosphorus (P) -14 potassium (K) water soluble fertilizer at 0, 1.3, 2.7, 4.0, 5.3, or 6.6 g L −1 weekly. Days to flower, flower stem length, and leaf length were recorded, the mineral contents in leaves were analyzed, and the number of rhizomes with tuberous roots were recorded at harvest. Flowering of the first inflorescence in both C. alismatifolia 'Chiang Mai Pink' and C. thorelii 'Chiang Mai Snow' was significantly delayed when plants received 6.6 g L −1 fertilizer as compared to the control plants. The number of rhizomes with more than 4 tuberous roots was highest when plants received 2.7 g L −1 fertilizer. No medium-sized rhizomes with more than seven tuberous roots were produced when 'Chiang Mai Pink' plants received 0, 4.0, 5.3, and 6.6 g L −1 fertilizer. Based on the production of rhizomes with four to six tuberous roots, optimum concentration of 15N -7P -14K water soluble fertilizer is 2.7 g L −1 for C. alismatifolia 'Chiang Mai Pink' and 1.3 to 4.0 g L −1 for C. thorelii 'Chiang Mai Snow'. Although high boron content occurred only in the outer part of the second leaf when fertilizer concentrations were increased, leaf-margin burn (LMB) symptoms were not observed in both species and this could not be related to the production of rhizomes.
