Impact of different drying methods and desiccants on storage quality of annual chrysanthemum and gerbera

The present experiment entitled, “Impact of different drying methods and desiccants on storage quality annual chrysanthemum gerbera” was carried out at the laboratory Floriculture Landscape Architecture, Department Horticulture, College Agriculture, JAU, Junagadh during year 2019-2020 to know impact gerbera. laid in completely randomized design with factorial concept two factors i.e. viz. sun shade river sand (red), (black), sea sand, silica gel, borax powder replicated thrice. Flowers were dried properly as per treatments observations recorded. In case parameters, flowers resulted acceptable flower colour less mechanical damage. Along that another treatment combination damage flowers. However, shape attack pest disease noticed gel. It can be concluded from investigation produced dry gerbera storage.
