THE RESULTS FROM "LAZER STIMULATION" EFFECT ON TULIP PLANT BODY
The problem of creating new high ornamental, competitive and environmentally resistant tulip forms, very early and late-blossoming, original in flower shape and with a rare color, remains still relevant in Russian humid subtropics. In addition to these qualities in the new cultivars, very important are economically valuable features such as high capacity for vegetative reproduction and a high growth of bulb weight, providing successful introduction of new cultivars into production. The paper presents research materials about the opportunities to increase yield quantity and quality of planting material by laser treatment of tulip bulbs. Studies have shown that treatment of small bulbs with laser irradiation (with an exposure of60 and 120 seconds) provides a more complete realization of the genetic potential of cultivar-samples, furthermore, it is an effective way to improve the quality of planting material and provide a more active life for these cultivars.
