MONITORING OF ORNAMENTAL BULBOUS PLANTS COLLECTIONS

The description of monitoring a technique of a condition of flower-decorative collection bulbous plants is given. The methodology is based on a scoring system for evaluating information biological indicators that characterize the state of plants. As the evaluated indicators, 9 were determined: winter hardiness of plants, damage to spring frosts, plants damage by bacterial or fungal diseases, infection with viral infection, pest population, preservation of decorative parameters and reproductive capacity inherent in this variety, general physiological state, dynamics of the number of varieties. The general condition of a single variety is “estimated” by the totality of all indicators and is considered excellent for the sum of the estimated parameters of 85–100 %, of the maximum possible total score; “good” at 70–84 %, “satisfactory” at 55–69 %, “critical” at 50 %.

Results of the assessment of varieties are used to monitor the status of the collection as a whole. With the excellent stats of the collection, the proportion of varieties with “satisfactory” and “critical” ratings is less then 10 %, with a “good” 11–20 %, with a “satisfactory” 21–30 %, with a “poor” whiter 30 %.

The results of approbation of a technique of monitoring on the example of a collection of split-daffodils are given.
