Variety traits

Carnation branching

Dianthus caryophyllus L.

Branching in Dianthus caryophyllus is a key agronomic trait that determines plant productivity through the number of lateral shoots and the count of marketable flower stalks.

In the reference 10 varieties crop Carnation, where this is mentioned in the description.

To evaluate branching in Dianthus caryophyllus, the total number of lateral shoots per plant is counted, shoots of specific orders are recorded, or the days until the onset of branching are noted. The values vary significantly depending on the genotype: studies report figures ranging from 2.26 to 5.85 branches per plant.

This trait is directly correlated with cut flower yield and the quality of flower stalks. The intensity of shoot formation depends on the light regime and temperature conditions: high temperatures can accelerate vegetation but reduce branching. Pinching is used to form an optimal plant habit.
