Soil and Irrigation water. Soil excellent soil structure and retain moisture permeability (no impermeable layers) throughout the entire growing layer (particularly the upper layer of soil) throughout the entire cultivation period. Heavy loam and clay soils are less suitable for the cultivation of Oriental hybrids. For producing other groups of lilies, these soils can be improved by working in substrates containing humus to a depth of 40-50 cm. This improves air permeability and provides sufficient moisture permeability in the upper layer of soil so that even in these soils, sufficient oxygen can be absorbed by the moisture in the soil. Heavy soils will usually reduce the height of the crop somewhat. In addition to water and nutrients, having enough oxygen in the soil is also esential for a good healthy root system and thus for plant developement. The panning of soil susceptible to compaction should be prevented by applying a mulch after planting. The mulch can consist of with rice hulls, Styromull, rice straw, pine needles, upgraded black peat, etc. A certain amount of care should be taken when mulching due to the possible presence of the fungus Rhizoctonia

GROWING INFORMATION
Lilies can be forced into flower in almost any type of soil. Nevertheless, care must be taken to ensure
solani in some mulching materials. Soil Structure
The term ‘soil structure’ refers to both the physical and chemical properties of the soil that will affect the usability of this soil by the plant. Important factors in soil structure are organic matter and pH. It is thus important when growing lilies that the structure of the soil, whether this is the border soil of the greenhouse or field soil, is in order previous to planting. If not, there will be a high risk of root rot. And, although the primary cause of root rot is a fungus known as Pythium, the underlying cause in most cases is poor soil structure paired with an insufficient permeability of the soil. Flooding and a lack of oxygen are the result, followed by a weakening and even dying back of the stem roots. When this occurs, the Pythium fungus can easily invade these roots and worsen their condition. This is why it is essential to keep track of the structure of your soil and improve it according to schedule by applying the procedures (see table 1 & 2). You can

also prevent the deterioration of soil structure by not tilling the soil when it is too wet. Also be careful not to make the soil too finely textured when tilling it. Furthermore, make sure that the soil does not become compacted as the result of intensive watering. If necessary, mulch the soil with a few centimetres of rice hulls, peat litter or similar material.

Soil structure improvement Adding organic material, a name given to a wide variety of materials originating from plants or animals, improves the structure and at the same time the water balance, the accessibility of fertilisers, and the aeration of the soil. Fertilisers - but even more importantly, water en oxygen - are essential elements in producing a good root system that will then promote the proper growth of the plant. This makes it desirable to apply

organic material to the soil, especially heavy clay soil, in plenty of time before planting. Table 1. Standard fertilising plan

- well-composted tree bark. On heavier soils containing more humus, stable manure can often damage soil structure since it makes soil materials such as upgraded black peat, rice hulls and tree bark. Sand or lava sand is also used for this purpose. Work the organic material thoroughly into the upper 50 cm soil. Beware of the fact that excessive amounts of organic material can cause damage. It is better to add this material every year until the soil has attained a
pH
es ig n
good structure and then to adjust the amount provided thereafter in order to maintain the right soil structure.
Maintaining the proper pH (degree of acidity) in the growing layer is essential for the root development of lily plants and for the proper absorption of nutrients. Soil with an excessively low pH can result in excessive ab-
sorption of such elements as manganese, aluminium and iron; and ecessively high pH lead to an insufficient absorption of such elements as phosphorus, manganese and iron.
For growing Asiatic, LA and Longiflorum hybrids, maintaining a pH of 6 to 7 is recommended; for the Oriental, OA, LO and OT hybrids, a pH of 5.0 to 6.5 should be maintained.

To reduce the pH, pH-reducing materials such as peat products should be worked into the upper layer of the soil. When using artificial fertilisers, pH-reducing fertilisers such as the ones container ammonium and urea

The addition of 1 kg of CaCO/m of soil will increase the pH value of a factor of 0.3. After having increased the pH value of a soil that has been measured as having a very low pH, planting will have to wait for at least one week. During cultivation,

Because the stem roots of certain

lily cultivars grown downward,
these cultivars require a layer of 40-50 cm (the exact thickness depending on the existing soil structure) of well-drained soil. This is even more important when you consider that it is often necessary to leach the soil between cultivation periods

Salt sensitivity. Lilies are sensitive to salt. High salt contents will produce roots that are hard, brittle and yellow to brown in in the height of the crop. Excessive salt contents can even result in root damage! The salt content in the soil is determined by three factors: - the salt content of the manure and/or artificial fertiliser applied - the salt content of the water used for irrigation - the nutrients in the soil and how much of them were absorbed during the previous cultivation period. Conduct soil sampling at least 6 weeks prior to planting the bulbs in order to obtain a good picture of the pH, the total salt content and the chlorine content, and the presence of nutrients in your soil. The EC of the soil must not exceed 1.0 and the chlorine content must not exceed 1.5 mmol/l. If the EC or chlorine content exceeds these levels, the soil should be leached prior to planting with water having an EC less than 0.5. This will then make it possible to apply fertilisers to produce a good crop of lilies without the danger of increasing

colour. A high salt content will also reduce the roots’ capacity to absorb water, and this will lead to a reduction
the salt content in the soil that would harm them. Always leach in plenty of time prior to tilling in order to

prevent damaging the soil structure. Leaching sandy soil will require 30-40 litres/m ; loam and clay soils will require 50-60 litres of water with an EC not exceeding 0.5 (preferably lower) per m . Should you notice during cultivation that the soil contains too much salt (evidence: areas within the crop with shorter plants), provide more water than usual. You should thus be careful with the application of organic fertilisers containing too much salt or the application of too much artificial fertiliser.
