Abstract/Description: | Despite the availability of ample natural resources for successful flower cultivation, our share in world flower trade is meagre. This is because most of the cut flowers need to be grown under protected conditions to meet stringent quality control regimes of global flower trade and thus require high cost which is not feasible in our country where most of the farmers are small and marginal. Moreover, the present era of global climate change looks for energy efficient system for intensive farming which has less demand for fossil fuels. Keeping these in view, an experiment was laid out with the objective to identify suitable genotypes and practices for production of high value cut flowers like carnation, gerbera and alstroemeria under zero energy greenhouses in NW Himalayas. All the genotypes differed significantly for yield and quality traits and we could identify four promising genotypes viz. Master, Laurella, Charmant and Crimson Tempo in carnation, seven in gerbera and one in alstroemeria suitable for cut flower production under naturally ventilated polyhouse made of bamboo poles or locally available wood and UV stabilised polythene sheets. This gives an added advantage to small and marginal farmers who wish to take up floriculture for more profit but could not venture due to high initial cost. They can send their produce to nearby tourist places like Nainital, Dehradun, Rishikesh, Mussoorie etc and can get good premium price of their produce without the involvement of middlemen. It may open new avenues for increasing the acreage under intensive production and ultimately to increase the floricultural exports from our country |
