TUBEROSE (properly _tuber-ose,_ not _tube-rose,_ from

its specific name, _Polianthes tuberosa_).--This plant,
with its tall spikes of waxen and fragrant white flowers, is
well known in the middle latitudes, but usually requires
more heat and a longer season than are commonly
present in the most northern states.The tuberose is a
strong feeder, and loves warmth, plenty of water while
growing, and a deep, rich, and well-drained soil. The bulbs
may be set in the garden or border the last of May or in
June, covering them about 1 inch deep. Preparatory to
planting, the old dead roots at the base of the bulb
should be cut away and the pips or young bulbs about the
sides removed. After keeping them till their scars are dried
over, these pips may be planted 5 or 6 inches apart in
drills, and with good soil and cultivation they will make
blooming bulbs for the following year.
Before planting the large bulbs, it may be well to examine
the points, to determine whether they are likely to bloom.
The tuberose blooms but once. If there is a hard, woody
piece of old stem in the midst of the dry scales at the
apex of the bulb, it has bloomed, and is of no value
except for producing pips. Likewise if, instead of a solid
core, there is a brownish, dry cavity extending from the
tip down into the middle of the bulb, the heart has rotted
or dried up, and the bulb is worthless as far as blooming is
concerned.
Bulbs of blooming size set in the border in June flower
toward the close of September. They may be made to
flower three or four weeks sooner by starting them early
in some warm place, where they may be given a
temperature of about 60 to 70. Prepare the bulbs as
above, and place them with their tips just above the
surface in about 3-or 4-inch pots, in light sandy soil.
Water them thoroughly, afterwards sparingly, till the
leaves have made considerable growth. These plants may
be turned out into the open ground the last of May or in
June, and will probably flower in early September.
In the northern states, if planted in the border they will
not start into growth until the ground has become
thoroughly warm,--usually after the middle of June,-making the season before frost too short for their perfect
growth and flower. If any danger of fall frost is feared,
they may be lifted into pots or boxes and taken into the
house, when they will bloom without a check. As with
other bulbs, a sandy soil will suit.
Just before frost dig up the bulbs, cut off the tops to
within 2 inches of the apex of the bulb. They may then be
placed in shallow boxes and left out in the sun and air for
a week or more, to cure. Each evening, if the nights are
cold, they should be removed to some room where the

temperature will not fall below 40. When the outer scales
have become dry, the remaining soil may be shaken off
and the bulbs stored away in shallow boxes for the
winter. They keep best in a temperature of 45 to 50. It
should never fall below 40.
JASMINE
Package of practices
Varieties
The species-wise recommended varieties are Gundumalli
(Jasminum sambac), Co-1 and Co-2 (J. Auriculatum) and
Co-1 and Co-2 (J. Grandiflorum).
Soil and Climate
Jasmine can be cultivated in wide range of soils i.e., from
sandy loam to clay soils. However, it comes up well in well
drained rich sandy loam soils. The ideal conditions for
successful cultivation are warm summer with ample water
supply and sunny days.
Land Preparation and Planting
One or two initial ploughings are required to remove the
weeds present in the land, which is followed by digging of
pits at a size of 30cm3. Each pit should be applied 10 kg
of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) before filling the pits. Planting
should be done during June-November at a spacing of
1.5m x 1.5m.
Irrigation
First irrigation should be given immediately after planting
and subsequent irrigation at an interval of 7-10 days
depending upon the weather conditions and soil type.
Manuring
It is recommended that each plant should be applied with
10 kg of FYM and 60 g of Nitrogen and 120 g each of
Phosphorus and Potassium and should be applied in two
split doses i.e., once after annual pruning and again
during June-July.
Inter Cultural Operations
Weeding and strengthening of irrigation channels and
bunds are the intercultural operations followed for jasmine
cultivation. The first weeding should be done 20-25 days
after planting and subsequent weedings are done once in
2-3 months.
Pruning
Training is basically done to give the desired shape to the
plant whereas, pruning is done to get the desired crop.
Normally, irrigation is withheld prior to pruning and plants
are pruned by removing all past season shoots including
dead and diseased branches. It is advisable to prune the
plants during the last week of November to get increased
yield and quality flowers.

1. Pests - Bud worm, blossom midge and red spider mite

are the major pests of jasmine. Spraying of
monocrotophos 36 WSC @ 2ml /l is recommended to
control bud worm and blossom midge. To control the red
spider mite, spraying of sulfur (50% WP) @ 2g / l is
recommended.
2. Diseases - Nematode and root rot are the major
diseases attacking the jasmine crop. Control measures for
Nematode - 10 g of Temic granules/plant near root zone
and for Root rot - Drench the soil around plant with
Copper oxychloride @ 2.5 g / l .

Dear Mr. Parabu,

TUBEROSE (Poliantha tuberosa)
Tuberose occupies a very special position among the
ornamental bulbous plants because of its prettiness,
elegance and fragrance. It has good economic potential
for loose/cut flower trade and essential oil industry.
Cultivars
There are four groups of cultivars as given below:
1. Single: Flower is pure white and has only a single row
of corolla segments. Cultivars are Sringar, Culcutta Single,
Mexican Single and Suvarna Rekha.
2. Double: Flowers are white, tinged with pinkish red.
Petals are in several whorls. Cultivars are Suvasini,
Culcutta Double and Pearl.
3. Semi-double: Similar to double but with only 2 to 3
rows of corolla segments.
4. Variegated: This has variegated leaves with yellow
margins.
Soil
Porous, well-drained sandy loam soils are the best suited
for tuberose cultivation.
Propagation

4/10

7/3/2015

Tuberose or Jasmine

Propagation is by bulbs. Boat shaped bulbs of size 2 to 3

cm are preferred for planting. About 1.25 to 1.50 lakh
bulbs (800 to 900 kg) are required for planting one
hectare.
Cultural practices
Land is prepared well by ploughing two or three times.
FYM @ 30 t/ha is mixed well with soil. Best time for
planting is May-July. The bulbs preferably those of size 25 cm or above are to be planted at a depth of 7-10 cm,
with a spacing of 20 x 25 cm. A fertilizer dosage of
100:50:50 kg/ha N:P2O5 :K2O is recommended. Of these,
half N, complete P2O5 and K2O are applied at the time of
planting. Remaining N is applied when the flower spikes
start to appear. A heavy irrigation once in 5-10 days is
necessary depending upon the weather conditions. The
peak flowering is between June and October.
Ratoon crop
After the harvest of the main crop, the flower stalks are
headed back and the plot is manured and irrigated. Three
or four ratoon crops can be taken from single planting. If
the bulbs are not uprooted and replanted after three or
four ratoons, the spikes tend to become smaller and
unattractive.
Plant protection
Slugs and grass hoppers, which feed on the leaves, and
thrips which damage and cause distortion of the spikes
are the major pests. Malathion and carbaryl are effective
against these pests. Wherever nematode problems occur,
application of carbofuran is recommended. No major
disease is noticed. Sclerotium fungus, which attacks the
leaves and flower stalks at ground level causes defoliation
and toppling of spikes. This can be controlled by
drenching of soil around the plant with fungicides.
Harvest and yield
Tuberose is harvested by cutting the spikes from the base
for table decoration or the individual flower is picked from
the spike for making garlands and other floral ornaments.
The average yield of flower is as follows.
Plant crop: 5-10 t/ha
First ratoon: 9-12 t/ha
Second ratoon: 4-6 t/ha
JASMINE (Jasminum spp.)
Jasmine is an important flower crop that could be grown
on a commercial scale in Kerala. Jasminum sambac is the
most ideal species for cultivation in Kerala. The flowers
are used for preparing garlands. The jasmine oil has great
export potential in addition to its use for medicinal
purpose.

Tuberose or Jasmine

Important cultivars
There are trailing, climbing, and erect growing species and
cultivars. Three important species and their varieties are
given below:
1. Jasminum sambac: Gundumalli, Motia, Virupakshi,
Sujimalli, Madanabanam, Ramabanam.
2. Jasminum grandiflorum: Co-1 Pitchi, Co-2 Pitchi,
Thimmapuram, Lucknow.
3. Jasminum auriculatum: Co-1 Mulla, Co-2 Mulla, Long
Point, Long Round, Short Point, Short Round.
Soil and climate
Jasmine can be planted on a wide range of soils. Welldrained sandy loams and red loams are ideal for its
cultivation. In clayey soils, there is increased vegetative
growth and reduced flowering. They give good yield in low
rainfall conditions.
Propagation
Layering and cutting are the main propagation methods.
Better rooting of cuttings can be obtained by planting in
coarse sand and also by using any of the rooting
hormones like IBA (5000 ppm), IAA (1000 ppm) and NAA
(5000 ppm). Simple and compound layering methods are
followed during June-July to October-November. Layers
will be ready for planting within 90-120 days.
Planting
After ploughing the land, pits of about 40 x 40 x 40 cm
size are taken and filled with topsoil and 15 kg well-rotten
FYM.
Planting distance depends on the species and also on soil
and environmental conditions.
Species Planting distance
J. sambac
J.auriculatum J.grandiflorum 1.2 x 1.2 m
1.8 x 1.8 m
2.0 x 1.5 m
Planting is usually done during June-August.
Manuring
Each plant requires a fertilizer dose of 120 g N, 240 g
P2O5 and 240 g K2O. The fertilizers are mixed together
and applied in two split doses during January and July.
This has to be supplemented with organic manures like
neem cake, groundnut oil cake etc. at the rate of 100 g
per plant per month.

Pruning
Pruning is essential and is done at a height of 45 cm from
the ground level during mid December-January.
Weed control
Manual weeding is effective but expensive. Use of
weedicides like paraquat is also practised. Mulching also
reduces weed population.
Irrigation
Constant and adequate water supply during
peak flowering season (March-October) is essential for
high yield of flowers. After flowering is over, the water
supply can be cut off. During summer, irrigate twice a
week.
Pests
Jasmine is comparatively a hardy plant. Major pests are
bud and shoot borers and blossom midge, which can be
controlled by spraying 0.15-0.20% carbaryl.
Diseases
Leaf blight: Can be controlled by spraying 0.2% mancozeb
or 0.1% benomyl
Fusarium wilt: Drench the soil with 1% Bordeaux mixture.
Rust: Controlled by spraying 0.2% zineb.
Yield
Yield of flowers and jasmine oil vary according to the
species and management practices.

J. auriculatum J.grandiflorum 5

Jasmin grandiflorum. One acre of land holds approximately

800-900 plants depending on the spacing. During the
height of the season one plant can yield as much as 350
grams(12.5 ounces) of flowers per day. A yield of 2000
kilos(4400 lbs) of flowers per year can be gathered from
an acre of land if it is well tended.
