Variety traits

Diascia vigor

Diascia Link & Otto

A qualitative characteristic of the development rate and habit of Diascia, used to select planting density and determine the need for growth regulators.

In the reference 11 varieties crop Twinspur, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Diascia, vigor is a descriptive indicator that determines the plant's ability to fill the volume of a container or planting area. In professional classifications, this parameter is used to categorize varieties by development intensity, allowing agronomists to select optimal planting densities.

The indicator directly affects cultivation technology: varieties with high vigor require the use of growth regulators at high temperatures to maintain plant compactness, whereas less vigorous forms do not require such correction. Vigor assessment is also used to determine the timing for replacing planting material, as the intensity of Diascia vegetation and flowering decreases significantly with age, typically after the third year of life.
