present experiment was carried out to check the effect of different concentrations of sucrose (2, 4, 6%), ga 3 (25, 50, 75 ppm) and combination of sucrose and cuso4 (2% + 200, 4% + 300, 6% + 400 ppm), sucrose and ga 3 (2% + 25 ppm), (4%+50 ppm), (6%+75 ppm) on keeping quality and vase life of carnation cv. ‘eskimo’. some postharvest characteristics such as vase life, total soluble solids (tss),...

lisianthus (eustoma grandiflorum cv. ‘mriachii blue’) is one of the most important and marketable cut flowers in the world. however, a relatively limited vase life reduces its marketability. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of essential oils in extending vase life of cut flowers of lisianthus. for this purpose a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized desig...

Various postharvest treatments were evaluated for effect on longevity and quality of cut Campanula medium L. ‘Champion Blue’ and ‘Champion Pink’ stems. Stems stored at 2 °C either wet or dry had no difference in vase life or percent flowers opened; however, flowers stored dry had a slightly greater percentage of senesced flowers at termination. Increasing storage duration from 1 to 3 weeks decr...

in this research, the effects of pulsing application of preservative solutions containing salicylic acid (100 and 200 mg/l) and methyl jasmonate (25 and 50 mg/l) and long period application of preservative solutions containing thymol (75 and 125 mg/l), menthol (75 and 125 mg/l) and eugenol (50 and 100 mg/l) on the maintain quality and extend vase-life of carnation cut flowers two tests were eva...

carnation (dianthus caryophyllus l.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. themajority of thecarnation cultivars are sensitive to ethylene which affected the physiological and biochemical postharvest characteristics of these flowers.applying inhibitors of biosynthesis and action of ethylene is important factor to protect the display quality and extend postharvest life. in order...
