Index of Flowering (Index – V)

The original paper on the Flowering Index was published by Máthé, Ákos (1977): Az Adonis vernalis L. virágzásáról. (On the flowering of Adonis vernalis L.) Herba Hungarica, 16(1), pp

III - I Index V = I + II + III Index of Flowering used in the phenological investigations I =II =III =

Main applications of the Flowering Index 1.Characterization of the course of flowering of species and cultivars, 2.Comparison of the flowering of plant individuals, populations, species, cultivars, etc. =Identification of simultaneously flowering cultivars to be used as pollen donor cultivars, =To facilitate agricultural plant protection activity at the period of flowering, =Data are suitable to be included in the data- banks of plant collections, gene banks, etc. =Application in production biological studies to characterize the phenophase of flowering, etc.
