Tulip Quebec

Genetic Architecture of the 'Quebec' Tulip

The 'Quebec' Greigii tulip is a high-tech selection product engineered for operational stability in open-field conditions. The key feature of this hybrid is its structural resilience: the cultivar demonstrates a robust immune response to a complex of pathogens that traditionally plague bulbous crops.

Biological Protection: Phytosanitary Potential

Resistance to Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt is achieved through dense outer bulb tissues and a unique biochemical profile that inhibits fungal mycelium growth. Unlike standard garden tulips, this hybrid possesses intrinsic resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Cladosporium, significantly reducing the necessity for intensive fungicide applications in commercial production.

Phenology and Morphology

The petal coloration is a sophisticated blend of pink and cream hues. Its medium-season flowering ensures optimal utilization of the growing period, while its medium plant height provides excellent resistance to wind damage (lodging). Selecting this hybrid is a strategic move for agricultural operations aiming to mitigate crop loss risks associated with viral infections while maintaining high commercial ornamental standards.
