Abstract

Short day interruption (SDI) was applied in protected cultivation of spray chrysanthemum cultivars. SDI improved shape and quality of spray – inflorescence together with delay of flowering of plants. The delay was longest (21–26 days) in summer culture placed in plastic tunnel; in autumn culture-only 5–6 days
