Variety traits

Chrysanthemum bud

Chrysanthemum L.

The chrysanthemum bud is a key morphological object used for the standardized evaluation of varieties and the management of production processes under controlled-environment agriculture.

In the reference 74 varieties crop Chrysanthemum, where this is mentioned in the description.

In the DUS testing system, the bud is evaluated at the full coloration stage before it begins to open. The stages of capitulum development are classified by diameter: stage 2 corresponds to a bud less than 10 mm, and stage 3 to one greater than 10 mm. Qualitative characteristics, such as the shape, size, and external color of the bud, serve as official descriptors for variety identification.

Technologically, the initiation of the chrysanthemum bud is controlled by the photoperiod, which is specific to each variety. The period from bud initiation to flowering determines market value, and commercial harvesting is often carried out at the colored bud stage, which is capable of further development. During this period, to ensure inflorescence quality, mineral nutrition adjustments are required with an increased proportion of phosphorus and potassium.
