Goals Trade and importance of bulbous plant in Turkey and worldwide, classification and identification of bulbous, tuberous and rhizomous ornamental plants, vegetative and generative propagation methods, storage, preparation treatments. Economic importance, botanical and physiological characteristics, ecological requirements, vegetative and generative propagation methods, cultivation techniques, pre-treatments, preparation treatments, forcing treatments in open field and greenhouse conditions, packaging, storage and transport conditions of flower bulbs, disease and pests encountered both the important natural flower bulbs (Galanthus spp., Cyclamen spp., Eranthis hyemalis, Fritillaria imperialis, Fritillaria persica, Leucojum aestivum, Stenbergia lutea, Lilium candidum, Anemone blanda, Ornithagalum nutans and Scilla bifolia) exported from Turkey and flower bulbs (Lilium spp., Tulipa gesneriana, Hyacinthus orientalis, Gladiolus grandiflorus, Ranunculus asiaticus, Narcissus spp., Anemone coronaria, Iris germenica and Freesia hybrida) cultivated and traded worldwide and in our country.
Course Content Importance and trade of bulbous plants worldwide and in Turkey; identification and classification of bulbous, tuberous, and rhizomous ornamental plants; the generative and vegetative propagation methods of flower bulbs; and storage and preparation treatments of flower bulbs. The economic significance of the important natural flower bulbs exported from Turkey (Galanthus, Cyclamen, Eranthis, Fritillaria, Leucojum, Lilium, Anemone, Ornighogalum, Scilla, Stenbergia) and of the important cultured flower bulbs cultured and traded worldwide and in our country (lily, tulip, gladiolus, iris, freesia, hyacinth, ranunculus, narcissus, and anemone); their botanical and physiological characteristics; their ecological demands; generative and vegetative propagation methods; cultivation techniques; the pre-handling procedures carried out on bulbs; preparation treatments; forcing procedures in the store and the greenhouse; the packaging, storage, and transport conditions of bulbs; and the diseases and pests seen in flower bulbs.
Learning Outcomes 1) Understanding the botanical and physiological characteristics of bulbous, tuberous, and rhizomous ornamental plants
2) Adopt the importance of natural flower bulbs in Turkey
