| Family Scientific Name: | Scrophulariaceae | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Scientific Name: | Orthocarpus luteus | ||
| Common Name: | Owl Clover | ||
| Species Code: | ORLU2 | ||
| Ecotype: | Colorado, MPCG (98-028s, 98-045s), Hollowell (98-086s) | ||
| Propagation Goal: | seeds | ||
| Propagation Method: | seed | ||
| ProductType: | Propagules (seeds, cuttings, poles, etc.) | ||
| Time To Grow: | 0 | ||
| Propagule Collection: |
Seed cleaning technique: Inflorescences crushed and sieved. Seeds are very small and will be mixed with a large quantity of miscellaneous plant material. MPCG (98-028s) collected on 9/19/98; MPCG (98-045s) collected on 10/3/98; Hollowell (98-086s) collected on 9/12/98. |
||
| Propagule Processing: | Germination: MPCG (98-028s) no percentage; MPCG (98-045s) low percentage; Hollowell (98-086s) low percentage. | ||
| Pre-Planting Treatments: | Seed treatments: None, 30 day cold moist treatment. | ||
| Growing Area Preparation/ Annual Practices for Perennial Crops: |
Propagation Environment: Greenhouse, 65-70§F day/55§F night. Propagated on orange heat pad (set to 70§F) under tent with misters set 8 am-8 pm, with 10 sec/15 min watering intervals. One week after germination, seedlings were moved to mister area without tent. Germination media: Fafard Germinating Mix (superfine). Growing media: Fafard Growing Mix 2. |
||
| Establishment Phase: |
Sowing/planting technique: Sown in 4x8, covered lightly. Time to germination: 14 days (no cold treatment), 7 days (with cold treatment). Establishment Phase: Germination occurs over several days. Time to potting: 1 month. MPCG (98-028s) sowed 10/28/98; MPCG (98-045s) sowed 12/4/98; Hollowell (98-086s) sowed 11/16/98. |
||
| Harvesting, Storage and Shipping: | Seed storage condition: Seed stored in the greenhouse. | ||
