The effects of salicylic acid (SA) and Putrescine (Put), on cut Gladioluswas studied. SA (0, 150, 300 and 450 mg l-1) and Put (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. This study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 192 Gladioluscut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of...

Disturbance in water relations is the major causes of vase life reduction and senescence in cut flowers This problem is mainly due to microorganism proliferation in the vase solution which leads to vascular occlusion and reduction in solution uptake by cut flowers. Therefore a comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the biocidal effect of nano silver particles (NSP) and compare it with so...

Ornamental horticulture is a very important economic aspect of horticulture and plays a fundamental part in the way humans interact with and modify the environment.

The effects of postharvest blue light exposure have never been studied on cut flowers, so the present study aimed to explore duration (6, 12, 18, and 24 h) silver nanoparticle (SNP) application (5, 10, 15, 20 mg l−1) quantitative qualitative traits Alstroemeria ‘Napoli’ flowers. control flower received distilled water without exposure. longest vase life (22.66 days) was related 10 l−1 SNP, not ...

to study the effect of foliar application of humic acid on morpho-physiological traits, nutrients uptake and postharvest vase life of cut marigold, an experiment was conducted with five levels of humic acid (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm) based on completely randomized design with three replications. based on the results, in compared with control, leaf number and leaf area, total phenol and aer...
