Abstract SUMMARY The m~st important genu~ of t~e F~ily Lillacea~ for the garden is probab1S L~llum. ” These true Lilies have leng bee~ known as nGarden Aristocarta~ or Noble plants- They add dignified glory t~ so many g~r’enB and when the, grown in pots or used as cut flowers, the same dignified beauty prevails. The present work wa~ undertaken at the farm of the Faculty of Agriculture Sci~nces at Moshtohour, Zagazlg University in three auccesa1ve season 1977/1978, 1978/1979, 8nd 1979/1980. The present work. waB com ueted to investigate the effect of media~ nutrition and growth regulators on propgetion and growth of Li11um lengiflorum tb~b. ’rne first experiment was a prellm.in2,rystudy to investigate the effects of two different media And nutrition on the growth of the new formed bl~lb1ets of L111um long1florum Than.a. The first medium (A) consisteo of: 1Selld:: 1,eat mass vlv, where9.s the second one wa.s 1 Sand ’: 1 peat moss: I 1 loam v/v. The bulblets alsu wera subjected to three different levels of nut~ition as 81 and 53’ On account of tne previouslY obtained results the first medium w~s exolud6d and the levols of nutrition were modified to bo 3 , The new formed bulblets of 1978 wore graded and subj·octe<lto modified nutrient solution ’ Toe same practices were repeated in 1979/ The second exprei.~nt was propag~tion frmu cuttings b, usi~g lAA ~t 0.00. 100, i50, Z0 p.p,m. and lBA at OO.t, 100, ZOO I 250 P.1’ .m.

IBA and Rootone besides wounding treatments. The third experiment concerned the effects of nutrition 0[1 the growth and flowering of the me.ture bulbs of ~ilium ~ong1flour~.Thunb. The important results can Ou summcri~cd as follows: l. The high.est nubmer of BUrv’ived and ilealthy plo.nts wM noticed in medium (B) wh.icn conaists of 1 Sand I l 108m : 1 pc~t mosS when supp~ied with tno nign lGvel of nutrition. Th~ intcract1onof M x N waS signifioant. 2. Bulbleta grown in mcdiwn (B) ai~ificactlY gB~e more numbur and he,wier leaves as oompared wUIl medium (A). AlsO using medium (B) significantl,y incre”sed tb8 w~ignts of bulbleta. 3. Tbe nignest percentages of drY matter were those in lc,avcS, flower st”lk and f~owers of the plants wnich received the highest ~evel nutrition (85), The medium lavel of nutrit ion.

The percentage of aurviv”l cuttings norizontnlly p~~nted were nearly twice tt~D6€ of t hQ vertioe.l ODes. 7. The number of new formed bulblets on a b.orizon~~l cutting wes m>illY time s as mucn as t b.OOe carried on e. v e rt teal one. The concentration of IAA in this respect was 100 F.F.m. 8. The heaviest weight of new formed bulblets was obt~ined from horizontal cuttings tre~ted with IAA ~s 200 F.~.m. 9. IBA had more influence on the development of new bulblets on the vertically pl~nted cuttings. The suit~blG concdntration wa.s 100 and 200 p.p.m. 10. Pre-treAtment of cuttings with rootone aur,t st s concentrgt10n of 2000 F.F.m. remarkably increased the percentagos of the survival cuttings of both vertioal ~d hDrizont~l planting. 11. Rootone application inereased the number ~f bulblets par cutting, their weights and diamuters espocially ’,~ith vertical cutting- 12. Wounding significantly 1ncre~so. tho percentage of survival Bea.les, number, weights and diamoter of bulblota form~d on the scale. 13. Storing the bulbs at 100e, before wound trG~tment was effective for better qu~lityof bulbs butt if qu~ntity of bulbs is the 80im , storing at room temperature is :i.deal. 14.
