In the winter and spring shipment of cut Eustoma grandiflorum flower production, blasting of flower buds often occurs, resulting in a delay of the harvest time and cut flower quality degradation. We investigated the effect of long-day treatment and temperature control after flower budding on the cut flower quality and flowering of Eustoma grandiflorum in spring shipment. Night break treatment using low R/FR-ratio light (for example incandescent lamp) after flower budding decreased frequencies of blasting and increased the number of flower buds compared with those under a natural day length. Night temperature of 5℃ delay flowering for two weeks compared with those 10℃, however increased the number of flower buds and decreased the number of flower buds blasting. Ventilation settings 25℃ increased the number of flower buds and decreased the number of flower buds blasting compared with those 35℃. And when the flower bud developed, shut greenhouse side tightly in order to raise the temperature, the flower bud blasting was caused high frequency.
