Chrysanthemum Stunt

  • Chapter
The Viroids

Part of the book series: The Viruses ((VIRS))

Abstract

Prior to the 1930s and early 1940s, florists’ chrysanthemums were produced only in the fall and early winter. Plants were grown on a natural flowering cycle that extended from September through January with a succession of flowering determined by different genotypes selected as early, intermediate, and late varieties. The discovery of photoperiodic control of flowering led to precise timing of the crop and chrysanthemum production at all seasons of the year. Production expanded rapidly and chrysanthemums became one of the five leading florist crops.
