Which crop uses a bulb produced in a field?

Which crop uses a bulb produced in a field?

• A. Roses grown for cut flowers
• B. Chrysanthemum
• C. Easter Lilies
• D. Miniature roses grown as potted

Answer: (C)

Bulb crops store their flowering energy in a bulb that is produced and matured in the field, then used for forcing to bloom at a later time. Easter Lilies are grown as field bulbs; farmers cultivate and harvest these bulbs in fields, cure and store them, and then retailers or growers force them in greenhouses to flower around Easter. The other crops listed are typically propagated by vegetative methods such as cuttings or divisions, not by field-grown bulbs. So, the crop that uses a bulb produced in a field is Easter Lilies.
