Gerbera is one of the most popular cut flowers in the world. Several experiments have been done on the effect of different chemical compounds on longevity and quality of cut flowers. In the present study, two experiments based on a completely random design with two treatments and three replications were conducted on gerbera cut flower cv. Sorbet. The first experiment examined the effect of BA, ...

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 present investigation entitled “Effect of plant growth regulators on growth, flowering, yield and vaselife chrysanthemum under Prayagraj agro climatic conditions”, was carried out during August to December, 2022, in Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj. experiment conducted Randomized Block Design with...

respiration is one of the important factors to be considered in a determination of the quality of cut flowers during their postharvest preservation period. modified atmospheric packaging (map) is an effective way of reducing respiration rate along with increasing vase life while the quality of cut flowers also well maintained. this research was conducted on the basis of a factorial experiment, ...

rose (rosa hybrida l.) is one of the mostly cultivated cut flowers in iran and around the world. the study was carried out to increase the vase life and quality of cut rose ‘grand prix` and ‘avallanche` by using various floral preservative solutions. floral preservative solutions were agno3, 8-hqs, nano silver and distilled water. treatments were compared with tap water as control. the experime...

the anti-senescence biogenic polyamines (pas) putrescine (put), spermidine (spd) and spermine (spm) are involved in plant growth processes and responses to stress. the physiological mechanism of exogenous put to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mm put and then...

Increasing shoot branch numbers of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat cv. Hangbaiju (Hangbaiju) is crucial for producing high flower yields. Pot experiments were designed to evaluate the effects foliar application 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) combined with prohexadione-Ca (Pro-Ca) on yield and quality flowers. Foliar 6-BA Pro-Ca typically increased leaf chlorophyll content decreased soluble sugar pro...

the effect of different storage temperatures on senescence and postharvest performance in cut scapes of three iris species (iris germanica, iris reticulata and iris kashmiriana) was studied with the aim to develop a cost-effective storage protocol so as to bring out the transportation of these cut flowers. the scapes were subjected to two different storage treatments-dry storage and wet storage...

The anti-senescence biogenic polyamines (PAs) putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm) are involved in plant growth processes and responses to stress. The physiological mechanism of exogenous Put to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. Fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mM Put and then...
