Cultivating annual crops in the high upland has the potential to increase avalanche and land erosion. Therefore, chrysanthemum extensification from high upland to medium upland can create sustainable agriculture. The differences between high upland and medium upland are microclimate and soil type. Meanwhile, the effect of soil type between the high upland and the medium upland on the chrysanthemum spray type quality is unknown. The study aimed to determine the effect of different soil types on the quality of chrysanthemums when planted in high upland. The study used a split plot design with two factors. The first factor was the type of soil, such as Andosol from the high upland and Latosol from the medium upland. The second factor was the chrysanthemum varieties, such as Yastayuki (white flower), Arosuka Pelangi (yellow flower) and Socakawani (red flower). The results showed that both Andosol and Latosol soil types could produce the same quality of chrysanthemum in all varieties when planted in high upland. The quality aspects of chrysanthemum were the plant height, the stem diameter, the number of flowers and flower color. Consequently, we could extend the cultivation of chrysanthemum in medium upland by using Latosol type soil.

Samples of potatoes were collected in three successive seasons from a wide range of soil types and their liability to stem-end blackening determined.Variety and season of growth affected the amount of stem-end blackening which developed.All soil types gave samples with a wide range of stem-end blackening, but the average amounts of blackening in samples from different soil types were shown to differ significantly. Samples from fen, blackland, sand, gravel, limestone and chalk blackened more than those from skirt, silt, warp, clay and boulder clay.The pH of the expressed sap of tubers was independent of the type of soil in which they were grown, but dependent on variety and locality of growth. No evidence that the pH of the tubers influenced the amount of stem-end blackening pigment was obtained.The yellowness of the flesh of tubers showed an approximately normal distribution. Slight evidence for an effect of soil type on the amount of yellow pigment was obtained.The work described above was carried out as part of the programme of the Food Investigation Board of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.

Cut-flower production of three snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L.) cultivars (`Potomac Pink', `Winter White', and `Potomac Light Pink') in growing trays vs. ground beds was evaluated in five different plantings over a period of a year and a half. The experiments evaluated the quality of cut flowers from plants in ground beds or in small vs. large trays either raised or placed directly on the ground bed. The quality of flowering shoots was lower when plants were grown in raised trays rather than in on-ground trays or in ground beds, but other treatments did not affect quality consistently. Flowering shoot grade (a subjective quality indicator) correlated well (r = 0.8) with the ratio of shoot dryweight to shoot length (an objective quality indicator). Our results confirm that the flower quality of snapdragons grown on ground trays can equal that of those grown in ground beds.

Sampai saat ini mutu bunga sedap malam (Polianthes tuberose L.) yang diproduksi oleh petani kecil belum dapat memenuhi mutu sesuai kebutuhan pasar. Penurunan mutu bunga sedap malam diduga berkaitan dengan kurangnya keseragaman diameter tangkai bunga, bentuk tangkai bunga, dan sebagainya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan informasi mengenai karakteristik mutu bunga potong sedap malam komersial di sentra-sentra produksi. Mutu bunga sedap malam sangat ditentukan oleh ukuran tangkai bunga dan kesegaran bunga. Penelitian dilakukan sejak bulan Juli 2006 sampai  dengan Februari 2007. Sampel bunga potong sedap malam dipanen dari daerah Cianjur (Jawa Barat), Bandungan (Jawa Tengah), dan Pasuruan (Jawa Timur) masing-masing sebanyak 100 tangkai untuk diamati karakteristik fisiknya, yaitu panjang tangkai bunga, diameter bunga, panjang bunga, warna, dan kesegaran bunga. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bunga potong sedap malam dari daerah Jawa Timur adalah tipe bunga tunggal dengan jumlah bunga per malai 49,1 ± 8,2, stadia kemekaran bunga 1,6±0,5, dan diameter tangkai bunga 10,8±1,5 cm. Aroma bunga sangat tajam, dengan penampilan lebih ramping dibanding bunga potong sedap malam asal Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah. Informasi mengenai mutu bunga potong sedap malam  sangat bermanfaat bagi pedagang atau eksportir untuk mendapatkan produk yang diinginkan pasar atau konsumen.<br /><br /><br /><br />Quality of tuberose cut flowers which are produced by small farmers until now has not enough to fulfil market demand. The decrease of tuberose cut flower quality is believed to be related to unavailability of stalk diameter and other flower characteristics. The aim of the study was to determine quality characteristics of fresh tuberose cut flowers harvested from  farmer field  in production centers. Tuberose cut flowers quality is mainly affected by the flowers size and freshness. The research was conducted from July 2006 to February 2007. Tuberose cut flower were freshly harvested at farmer  field in Cianjur (West Java), Bandungan (Central Java), and Pasuruan (East Java), 100 samples collected from each district. The cut flower samples were observed and evaluated for physical appearance i.e. length of flower stalk, diameter, color, and freshness. The results showed that the tuberose cut flower from East Java was a single type with flower number 49.1 ± 8.2, the number of opening flower 1.6 ± 0.5, stem diameter 10.8 ± 1.5 cm. The aroma of the flowers was very keen compared to slimmer appearance of delicate tuberose cut flowers from West Java and Central Java. The information of tuberose cut flowers characteristics will benefit to saler or exporters to obtain the product that demanded by market and consumers.
