A distinct cultivar of Eryngium planum named Silver Stone, characterized by its large growth habit and rosette form, large and strong peduncles, and ellipsoid shaped flowers which are a distinctive greyish green in color.
A distinct cultivar of Eryngium planum named Fluela characterized by its relatively large and tall growth, rosette form, large peduncles having secondary and tertiary branches, and ellipsoid shaped, violet blue flowers.
None
A distinct cultivar of Eryngium planum named Blue Ribbon, characterized by its flower head which has very unique umbel formations, large and long peduncles with secondary and tertiary branches, medium violet mature flower color, and its rosette base.
A distinct cultivar of Eryngium planum named Calypso, discovered growing in a bed of plants of the parent cultivar Fluela. Calypso distinguishes from its parent by its longer peduncles, its variegated leaves comprised of cream colored margins and internal stripes or specks, and by its asexual reproducability only by tissue culture. The flower color of Calypso is medium violet, similar to its parent.
Bangladhonia (Eryngium foetdum L.) is a highly priced aromatic and medicinal culinary herb increasingly cultivated world wide. Seed - its production, rapid viability degradation and low germination rate limits its dissemination and cultivation. Experiments were conducted by the author at the Horticulture Field Laboratory of BSMRAU, Bangladesh to study morphology, fresh herb and seed production potentiality, seed storage and viability improvement. The dissertation includes method of Eryngium cultivation, morphological study, fresh herb and seed production, seed storage, viability and germination enhancement using growth regulators with different plant spacing. The highest seed yield (136.3kg/ha), gross return(BD Tk. 0.75 million/ha) and BCR (4.76) was recorded in 10x10 cm plant spacing. Seed treated with growth regulator solution (GA3 500ppm + Kinetin 50ppm) gave the maximum germination (31.23%), fresh yield (55.90 t/ha), gross return (BD Tk. 1.37 million/ha), gross margin (BD Tk. 1.18 million/ha) and BCR (8.52) with 20 kg seed/ha in broadcasting sowing system. Low temperature (4-5 deg.C) storage with air tight sealed polyethylene bag packaging was found better for storage of seeds.
