Abstract
The symptoms of bud necrosis in tulip bulbs are described. This disorder is neither contagious nor hereditary. It is found more often and more severely in certain cultivars (viz ‘Red Champion’ and ‘White Sail’) than in others (viz ‘Rose Copland’) in which it appears less frequently or not at all. The disease originates in the stamens of the flower-producing main bud during dry storage between lifting and planting of the bulbs. The occurrence of the disease in sensitive cultivars is promoted by storage of the bulbs under conditions of poor ventilation (viz packed in cardboard boxes) and at higher temperatures later in the storage period (after September 1).
