Suitability for cutting

Suitability for cutting is a complex of agronomic and biological plant traits that determines its ability to retain marketability and viability after being separated from the mother plant.

Mentioned in descriptions 22 417 varieties reference book.

Suitability for cutting is manifested by the plant's vase life, its ability to maintain turgor in petals and leaves, and the presence of strong, upright stems capable of supporting the weight of the bud without drooping. This parameter is a technological standard that determines the commercial viability of a variety.

The selection of a variety for cutting depends on the morphological characteristics of the stem, the rate of shoot regrowth after cutting, and a strictly defined stage of maturity at which the plant best withstands transportation. Agronomic evaluation includes testing the variety's ability to maintain decorative properties for a long period in a cut state.

The suitability of a variety for cutting is ensured by breeding for growth intensity, flower stalk strength, and physiological moisture retention capacity. During cultivation, specialized planting schemes, the use of trellises for vertical growth, and specific cultivation regimes without a pronounced dormancy period are employed to maintain these qualities.
