Alstroemeria Productivity

Alstroemeria L.

Alstroemeria productivity is measured by the number of marketable flower stems harvested per 1 m² per year. In commercial production, this figure ranges from 180 to 400 stems.

In the reference 90 varieties crop Alstroemeria, where this is mentioned in the description.

Alstroemeria productivity is quantitatively assessed as the volume of marketable flower stems per unit area over a production cycle, which typically lasts 3–4 years. The quality standard for the produce is defined as a stem with a length corresponding to varietal characteristics and the presence of at least 4 flowers per inflorescence.

The typical level of industrial productivity varies from 180 to 400 stems per 1 m² per year, with a first-class product share of 60–80%. The final figure is determined by the genetic traits of the cultivar, as well as the use of assimilation lighting, soil cooling systems, and CO2 level maintenance.

The economic efficiency of the crop depends on maintaining productivity at a high level throughout the entire duration of the plantation. Excessive planting density negatively affects the yield of high-quality produce, and the timely removal of non-flowering shoots requires a balance to sustain plant vigor.
