Abstract: To examine the rejuvenation of degraded Tulip bulb, the authors rejuvenated the degraded bulbs of different ages under different management measures, utilizing the appropriate geographical advantage of Zhaosu area. After 1 year of cultivation and rejuvenation, the bulbs age was upgraded from class 2 to class 3, the growth rate was 8.73%-42.29%, and the number of bulblet was 2-3 times as much as before. The results showed that, the climate and soil of Zhaosu were very suitable for the growth and rejuvenation of Tulip, and it was an ideal area for recycle of the degraded Tulip bulbs and for regional industrial cultivation. After different treatments, the Tulip bulbs could be rejuvenated and even could be up to the requirement of the commodity ball circumference. The two treatments had little difference, both could obtain good rejuvenation effect, and 1 to 2 years rejuvenation could meet the requirements of commodity ball.
