Effects of Environmental Factors on Tulip (Tulipa sp.) Cultivars Grown in West Bengal Plains
To investigate the effects of environmental factors on tulip (Tulipa sp.) cultivars in the plains of West Bengal, a field experiment was conducted with ten tulip cultivars, considered as ten treatments (T) (T1=Apeldorn, T2=Maureen, T3=Holland Cich, T4=Day Dream, T5=Pussima Design, T6=Avignon, T7=Roi-du-midi, T8=Clear Water, T9=Colouch and T10=Jumbo Beauty), at Horticultural Research Station, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mondouri, Nadia, West Bengal, India in two successive years of 2013-14 and 2014-15. Flower yield, flower length (cm), flower diameter (cm), plant height (cm) etc were observed and statistically analyzed and correlation was done between the morphological data and the environmental factors. The results showed that the short duration cultivars could be more suitable for cultivation under the short and mild winter conditions of the plains of West Bengal.
