SUMMARY OF SAKATA’S LISIANTHUS F1 HYBRIDS
The following is only a schedule-guideline for planting and harvesting Lisianthus. However, there are many different cultural techniques that can be applied in order to “fi ne tune” the production of Lisianthus. Therefore, we suggest that you contact your local Sakata representative for more detailed advice and expert assistance.
Depending on the geographical location and local market requirements, Lisianthus cultivation can be manipulated by techniques such as; variety plug- cooling, short-day treatments, heat adjustment, additional lighting, and daylength manipulation.
General grower guidelines:
When early varieties of Lisianthus initiate fl ower buds they are less sensitive to daylength and more sensitive to high temperatures. In contrast, late varieties, when initiating fl ower buds, are more sensitive to daylength and require higher temperatures.
Flower buds are initiated by using a relatively high temperature and long daylength. The recommend minimum night temperature is 15°C (60°F) and the day temperature is best at approximately 25°C (75°F)
Disclaimer; All information given is intended for general guidance only and is believed to be accurate. Differences will be obtained from the above table and are related to latitude, altitude, temperatures applied and daylength. Cultural details are based on conditions in the Northern Hemisphere and Sakata cannot be held responsible for any crop damage related to the information given herein. We recommend contacting your local sales representative for specifi c advice.
