Abstract

Tulip is the most important ornamental geophyte worldwide, grown for bulbs, cut flowers, potted plants, and landscape use. Major increases in consumer demand in the first half of the twentieth century were associated with the identification of many new disease problems. Tulip is susceptible to a number of diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes including Botrytis tulipae, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. tulipae, Pectobacterium carotovorum, Tulip breaking virus, and Ditylenchus dipsaci that can significantly reduce flower and bulb production. Since the plant is propagated vegetatively, this factor can facilitate the spread of disease if pathogen-free propagative material is not used and integrated disease management is not followed.
