Cycad is one of the most important cut foliage plants with several usages. This experiment was focused on increasing the vase life of Cycad’s cut foliage in normal storage condition. Experiment was based on a CRD with three replications. Treatments were conducted for four different levels of gibberellic acid (GA3) and benzyl adenine (BA) each one with 0, 50, 100 and 150 mg L-1, according to men...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of preservative solutions on vase life, number of bacteria in the end of stem and in vase solution of cut gerbera 'double dutch' and 'red explotion'. cut flowers were pulse-treated with nano-silver (2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 mg l-1) and thymol (12.5, 25, 50, 75 or 100 mg l-1) +5 % sucrose. experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with 5 rep...

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of differentpreservative solutions to improve the keeping quality of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa cv. Single). These preservative solutions (treatments) were: T1= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l AgNO3, T2= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l AgNO3 + 25 mg/l citric acid, T3= 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l HQS, T4 = 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l HQS+ 25 mg/l citric acid, T5= 2% sucro...

In order to improve the quality of cut rose ‘Dolce Vita’, an investigation was performed with 20 treatments, 3 replications, and 2 plants in each replicate in a greenhouse with the open soilless culture system. The treatments included control (distilled water), putrescine (Put) at the rates of 1, 2 or 3 mM, spermidine (Spd) at the rates of 0.5, 1 or 1.5 mM, spermine (Spm) at the rates of 1, 2 o...

in order to study the physiological effects of some of the essential oils in comparison with 8-hydroxyquinoline in cut lisianthus flowers (eustoma grandiflorum l.), an experimental was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. traetments included 8-hydroxyquinoline, essential oil of australian cheesewood (pittosporum undudatum) and rosmary oil(rosmarinus officinalis) ...

The effect of leaf extracts of Psidium guajava and Piper betle on prolonging vase life of cut carnation flowers was studied. "Carola" and "Pallas Orange" carnation flowers, at bud stage, were pulsed 24 hours with a floral preservative. Then, flowers were placed in a vase solution containing sprite and a "germicide" (leaf extracts of P. guajava and P. betle, 8-HQC, or a copper coin). Flowers tre...

this experiment was conducted in national institute of ornamental plants for extending vase life of anturium andranum cv. climax cut flowers. experiment was done based on completely randomized design (crd) with three replications and three cut flowers per replicate. treatments included volk oil emulsion wax coating (10, 20 and 30 percent), thyme oil (100, 150 and 250 ppm), salicylic acid (200, ...
