Meta-analysis of new technologies in post-harvest of tropical flowers

Abstract The ornamental plant sector is growing due to the development of new species and technologies. focus research extend shelf life cut flowers maintain quality customer satisfaction. Techniques such as storage at low temperatures, use preservative solutions, technologies nanotechnology can help floral stem. present review aims analyze various techniques used post-harvest stems. For this purpose, a systematic search was conducted on major indexing platforms for studies published in 2023, which were subjected meta-analysis. global effect size moderator effects calculated assist decision-making future floriculture. results indicated that addition preservatives variations temperature, electromagnetic fields most effective extending flowers. However, dry conditioning coating films did not show significant maintaining commercial quality. It found conservative solution still main flower technology centers. meta-analysis highlights importance further deepening and/or improving have shown less results, developing prolong vase stems order improve
