Optimum Relative Humidity: 65-75%
Benefits of CA: CA has been shown to reduce the respiration rate, increase storage time and reduce the incidence of blind tulip bulbs. Little work has been done with other flowering bulbs so the benefits are unknown
Benefits of Ethylene Removal: Most flowering bulbs produce little ethylene but may be sensitive to the effects of ethylene.
Special Treatments Before Shipping: Some bulbs, corms, rhizomes, roots and tubers should be held at warm temperatures for a limited time prior to shipping to allow the flower initiation parts to develop (e.g., Freesia, Gladiolus, Hyacinth, Dutch iris, Narcissus and Tulips). Others require cold treatment at low humidity to induce flowering (e.g., Lily-of-the-Valley. German iris and Peony).
Varietal Differences: There are important differences among different kinds of flowering bulbs and other storage organs. For specific information about proper handling, see: Holland Bulb Forcer's Guide. 2nd ed., 1977 Netherlands Flower-Bulb Inst., Hillegom, Holland. 145 p.
Mixed Loads: Do not ship with ethylene producing commodities.
Cautions: Many bulbs and other storage organs are very specific in their heating and chilling requirements for subsequent best blooming. There is also great variability in storage potential. Most do not benefit, and may be harmed, by CA since low О2and/or high СО2levels may stimulate sprouting.
