Freesia corm
Freesia Eckl. ex Klatt
The freesia corm is the primary reproductive organ and a morphological object for assessing planting material quality. Its size, measured by diameter in millimeters, directly determines plant vigor and the intensity of future flowering.
In the reference 21 varieties crop Freesia, where this is mentioned in the description.
In freesia agronomy and breeding, the term "corm" is used, with its morphological characteristics such as shape, size, and the condition of protective scales recorded in accordance with DUS testing protocols. Corm size is a key productivity indicator: large specimens ensure high-quality cut flowers, while smaller fractions are primarily used for further cultivation.
Freesia cultivation technology is closely linked to corm parameters. Planting depth varies from 3 to 7 cm depending on size, and planting intervals are reduced for smaller material. The quality of planting material is assessed by density and lack of damage; a mandatory preparation step involves cleaning off old tissues and disinfection to protect against pathogens.
