The Detection of Ethylene in the Internal Atmosphere of Bulbs1

Year: 1970

Type: article

Abstract: Ethylene was detected in the internal atmosphere of 5 bulb species. Some, if not all, of the determined ethylene concn are of physiological significance. Experiments using methyl l-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimi-dazole carbamate, a protective fungicide, indicate that fungi normally associated with tulip bulbs are at least partially responsible for the gas.
