Dahlia Cultivation in India and Abroad: A Review

Abstract

Dahlia is a popular tuberous rooted perennial herbaceous flowering plant that is prized for its privileged and spectacularly stunning flowers and is extremely desirable in the landscape. It has no equal as a bed flower in terms of versatility, attractiveness, and even cost, and cultivars can keep them looking beautiful for more than a month. Growing medium is essential for plant growth because it provides nutrients, anchors the plant, and provides minerals. Because of their high water holding capacity, adequate aeration, and improved nutritional status, growth media are a beneficial alternative to traditional soil for high-quality flower production. Plant growth regulators have been proven to be quite efficient in controlling dahlia morphology and physiological behavior. Dahlia development, blooming, and tuberous root creation revealed a surprising variety. The purpose of this review was to give an overview of the effects of plant growth regulators and potting soil methods on dahlia cut flower yield.
