CURRENT STATUS OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH ON POTTED AND BEDDING PLANTS IN EUROPE WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON TEMPERATURE |
| Author: | L. Hendriks |
| Abstract:
This paper gives an overview about activities in environmental research of the last five years in Europe. Emphasis in temperature research is laid on temperature requirement in different growth stages, the integration capacity of plants, specific effects of day and night temperature and the chilling temperature tolerance of different genotypes. Furthermore it reports the advantages and disadvantages of new heating control strategies as well as new bench heating systems. The utilization of growth models to describe the temperature reaction of plants or the complex interactions of different growth factors is also discussed. Emphasis in light research is laid on effects of light quality, light sum phenomenons, lighting efficiency in different periods of the day and the interaction of light with other growth factors. | |
