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...

In order to improve the vase life of alstroemeria cut flowers (Alstroemeria aurantiaca), an experiment was performed based on completely randomized design with 10 treatments including cycloheximide (50, 100 and 200 mg l-1), benzyladenine (50, 100 and 200 mg l-1), coconut juice (5, 10 and 20 %) and control (distilled water) in three replications. In this study, characteristics such as vase life,...

The vase life of cut flowers and foliage is often shortened by vascular occlusions that constrict vase solution supply. Reduction in stem conductivity is typically caused by blockage of cut stem ends and xylem conduits by microbes, physiological plugging, and disruption of water columns in xylem vessels by cavitations and air emboli. Cut flower and foliage longevity can be greatly affected by t...

the vase life of cut flowers prolong by some compounds, which can improve their hormonal regulation and water relations or reduce microbial growth in xylem tissu. the effect of chemical treatments on vase life longevity of rose 'ilona'. a randomized complete block design with three replications conducted with following the treatments of control, sts , nickel sulfate, cobalt chloride, ...

mended during the first season of growth. During subsequent years, summer and dormant pruning requirements are similar to the standard open-vase system grown in California. Because of the uniform and relatively simple tree structure, individual scaffolds, rather than whole trees, can be used as functional units for crop load management. The Kearney Agricultural Center Perpendicular “V” (KAC-V) ...

An unprecedented class of macrocycles with intrinsic fluorescence consisting of phenolic trimers and quinizarin is developed. Though they are lacking strong hydrogen bonds as observed in calixarenes, the two examples introduced here each adopt a vase-like conformation with all four aromatic units pointing in one direction (syn orientation). This "cone" conformation has been confirmed by NMR spe...

In this paper, we introduce the Virtual Photometric Environment which is one of mixed reality systems. The Virtual Photometric Environment enables arbitrarily control over the lighting directions and reflection properties of objects. The environment is realized by photometric pattern projection onto screen objects. Reflection properties of the photometric patterns are acquired from real objects...

Regardless of their maturity at harvest, the vase life of cut inflorescences of the hybrid Limonium ‘Fantasia’ placed in deionized water was 4 to 5 days. A vase solution containing Physan (a quaternary ammonium disinfectant solution) at 200 μl•liter–1 and 20 g sucrose/liter not only prolonged the longevity of individual florets but also promoted bud opening so that the vase life of cut inflores...

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...
