In this research, the effects of thidiazuron pulse treatment and salicylic acid were examined to improve vase life and maintain the quality of Alstroemeria ҅Modena҆ cut flowers. The experiment was done in a factorial experiment based on RCD with 16 treatments, 3 replications and 48 plots. The flowers were placed in different concentrations of thidiazuron (0, 10, 20, and 50 μM) and salicylic acid ...

the effect of some treatments including preserving solution (20g l-1 sucrose plus 200 ppm 8-hqs), ba and tdz (pulse or spray) with preserving solution were evaluated on senescence parameters and vase life of rose cut flowers cv. red gant. preserving solution, applying 25 mm ba with preserving solution increased solution absorbance, and prevented the cut flowers from getting decreased in relativ...

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...

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...

This study carried out based on a randomized completely design with 10 treatments geranium, eucalyptus and myrtus extraction, in 3 levels (2, 6 and 10 ml in 600 ml of distilled water) and control (distilled water) with 3 replications in 30 plots and each plot with 4 cut flowers. In this experiment traits such as vase life, water absorbtion, fresh weight, dry matter percent, petal protein conten...

ABSTRACT- Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum) is one of the most important ornamental plants used as cut flower, flowering pot plant and groundcover worldwide. In this research, the effects of preservative solutions containing thymol (75 and 125 mg -L), menthol (75 and 125 mg L-1) and eugenol (75 and 125 mg L-1) on the quality and vase-life of chrysanthemum cut flowers at 3±1ºC and 75-80%...
