A previously developed dynamic growth simulation model for cut tulip production in a plant factory system which predicts forcing period and flower quality of cut tulips from duration of bulb chilling and forcing temperature was confirmed. In a 1993 - 1994 experiment in which bulbs were forced at 20 deg C, irrespective of the duration of their chilling period at 2 deg C, the simulated values of number of days from planting to anthesis, shoot (cut flower) fresh weight, perianth length and dry weight of the component parts at anthesis correlated well with the observed values. In a 1998 - 1999 experiment in which the forcing temperature was lowered with the extension of the duration of bulb chilling at 2 deg C, when the duration of bulb chilling was extended to 26 weeks or longer, shoot fresh weight, perianth length and dry weights of shoot and floral organs at anthesis were underestimated by the model, while the dry weight of daughter bulbs was overestimated. These differences were supposed to be caused by fluctuation in bulb properties and could be diminished by inputting the dry weights of the mother bulb and daughter bulbs at planting into the model.
