Choice of Comparators ‘Paradise Tagula’ and ‘Paradise
Pago Pago’ were considered for the comparative trial to be
the most similar varieties of common knowledge. The Red
Fox Riviera series varieties are similar to the Paradise series
varieties in flower size, number, colour and earliness. All
other varieties available in Australia were excluded because
of their lack of similarity to either of the above series
varieties.
Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Paradise Tagula’,
‘Paradise Pago Pago’. Location: trials conducted at F& I
Baguley Flower and Plant Growers, Clayton South, VIC,
Mar – Jul 1999. Conditions: plants raised on their own roots
from cuttings planted into 150mm pots in commercial pine
bark potting mix on raised glasshouse benches. Pots were
watered and fed using a drip system (one dripper/pot). The
glasshouse walls and roof were sprayed with whitewash at
the start of the trial. All plants were subjected to the same
spray chemical treatments to maintain health. Trial design:
12 plants of each variety were arranged in rows.
Measurements: from all trial plants.
