Night break treatment was applied to Eustoma grandiflorum ‘Nail Peach Neo’ using light sources with different red (R: 660±30nm): far-red (FR: 730±30nm) ratios or FR light intensities in order to investigate growth and flowering responses. Flower initiation and induction were promoted by night break treatment with a low R:FR light source, but was delayed by a high R:FR ratio. The promotion or delay of flower bud formation was accompanied by a decrease or an increase, respectively, in the number of nodes on the main stem at anthesis to the first floret. The difference between date of visible bud with plants under night break treatment and that of the control was approximated with high accuracy by a sigmoid function of the logarithms of R:FR ratio. The threshold R:FR ratio demarcating the promotion and delay of date of visible bud was about 5.3 under the experimental conditions used. The critical R:FR ratios for promotion or delay of visible bud would be about 0.5 and 50.0, respectively. In addition, the time from planting to visible bud was approximated with an exponential function of FR light intensity. The maximum acceleration of date of visible bud by long-day treatment would be 20 days, and the critical FR light intensity would be 2.0μmolm−2s−1. It is concluded that growth and flowering of E. grandiflorum can be regulated by long-day treatment using light sources with different R:FR ratios or FR light intensities.
