Narcissus Manual
The guide covers a range of topics about narcissus crops in the UK, including:
- Background biology
- Economics and management
- Pests, diseases, disorders and weed management
It takes you through the steps of narcissus production, from the choice and acquisition of bulb stocks and preparation of the land, progressing to bulb lifting, sales and re-planting.
Also find information on:
- Bulb forcing
- Marketing flowers
- Pot-plant production
- Tazetta narcissus production
- Other more specialised aspects including growing of bulbs for galanthamine production, virus tested bulbs, producing dwarf and small-bulbed types, and bulb propagation.
The information in this manual was last updted in 2013 and the biocidal and plant protection products in the tables below were updated and correct as of March 2020.

- All major brands included of glyphosate, regardless of whether they are commercially available or not
- All ‘stubble uses’ are not included, due to the production practices for narcissus
- Pelargonic acid products included as these are likely to gain more uses in ornamental plant production
- Any products with expiry dates less than 12 months have been excluded as these would not normally be available to purchase as the expiry and distribution normally comes 12 months earlier than the expiry for use, storage and disposal
