| description | The cut flower freesia (Freesia x hybrida Klatt) is highly demanded in the international market. Planting date determines the environmental conditions during crop development and can significantly influence flower stem quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of five planting dates on the quantitative and qualitative traits of flower stems in two freesia varieties, Blue Bayou and Yvonne, under high tunnel conditions. Plants were harvested at the opening of the first basal floret of the primary inflorescence. The longest flower stems were recorded in plants planted on the first and second dates. Inflorescence length was shortened with delay of planting date; the last date yielded inflorescences of 7.30 ± 0.25 cm in length. The number of inflorescences and the number of florets per inflorescence decreased with delay of planting date; on the last day, Yvonne exhibited 6.02 ± 0.19 florets per inflorescence. Fresh and dry weight of flower stems showed the same trend, decreasing with delay of planting date. Vase life of flower stems obtained from the first and last planting dates was 10.50 ± 0.13 and 8.04 ± 0.12 days, respectively. More than 50% of flower stems from Blue Bayou exhibited injuries under late planting. The best flower stem quality was obtained from the earliest planting dates. These results highlight the importance of planting date selection to synchronize reproductive development with favorable environmental conditions and maximize commercial stem quality. |

A flor de corte freesia (Freesia x hybrida Klatt) é altamente demandada no mercado internacional. A data de plantio determina as condições ambientais durante o desenvolvimento da cultura e pode influenciar significativamente a qualidade das hastes florais. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de cinco datas de plantio sobre as características quantitativas e qualitativas das hastes florais de duas variedades de freesia, Blue Bayou e Yvonne, sob condições de túnel alto. As plantas foram colhidas na abertura do primeiro flósculo basal da inflorescência principal. As hastes florais mais longas foram obtidas nas plantas plantadas nas duas primeiras datas. O comprimento da inflorescência foi reduzido com o atraso da data de plantio; a última data resultou em inflorescências com 7,30 ± 0,25 cm de comprimento. O número de inflorescências laterais e de flósculos por inflorescência também diminuiu com o atraso do plantio; na última data, Yvonne apresentou 6,02 ± 0,19 flósculos por inflorescência. O peso fresco e seco das hastes florais seguiu a mesma tendência decrescente. A longevidade pós-colheita das hastes foi de 10,50 ± 0,13 dias na primeira data e 8,04 ± 0,12 dias na última. Mais de 50% das hastes da variedade Blue Bayou apresentaram danos sob plantio tardio. A melhor qualidade das hastes florais foi obtida nas datas de plantio mais precoces. Esses resultados destacam a importância da escolha adequada da data de plantio para sincronizar o desenvolvimento reprodutivo com condições ambientais favoráveis e maximizar a qualidade comercial das hastes florais.
