Abstract

Tuberose, a highly fragrant crop is cultivated commercially in India, Kenya, Mexico, Morocco, France, Italy, Hawaii, South Africa, Taiwan, North Carolina, USA, Egypt, China and many other tropical and subtropical areas in the world. Tuberose can successfully be grown in pots, borders, beds and commercially cultivated for its various uses. The flowers of tuberose are also used for making artistic garlands, bouquets, floral ornaments, buttonholes, gajras and extraction of essential oil. The long flower spikes are excellent as cut flowers for table decoration. It is not only popular as cut flower, for use in arrangements, but also for the individual florets that can provide fragrance to bouquets and boutonnieres. Due to its immense export potential, cultivation of tuberose is gaining momentum day by day in our country. This chapter on protected cultivation practices of tube rose will serves as technical guide for larger production of cut spikes with better quality.
