For three Asiatic hybrid lily cultivars (‘Bright Beauty’, ‘Fashion’, ‘Orlito’) the potential postharvest performance of floral buds in terms of growth, anthesis and longevity was studied in relation to tepal carbohydrate status. To determine the importance of carbohydrate redistribution within lily inflorescences, the postharvest performance of several attached and detached buds was compared at...

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...

tuberose (polianthus tuberosa) is a commercially important cut flower; but its longevity and quality characteristics are compromised by stress during storage and transportation. thus, it is important to determine the most appropriate preservative solution to best maintained cut flowers. tests were done to examine the effects on of nano-silver (ns) (0, 15, 30 and 45 mg l-1) and sucrose (0, 4 and...

A study was conducted to standardize production and postharvest handling of lily (Lilium longifolium L. cv. Mero Star). In production trial, three plant densities viz.10, 20 and 30 cm between plants in 60 cm spaced rows and two planting depths viz.7.5 and 15 cm were compared. Increased plant growth, yield and quality was recorded when plants were grown at a close spacing of 10 cm with 15 cm pla...

Abstract The planting of new types table citrus is an interesting alternative for growers in the state Paraná, as this domestic market continues to grow and needs innovation. Thus, aim study was evaluate acceptance storage a hybrid region Londrina / PR, Fremont IAC 543 mandarin (Citrus clementina hort. ex Tan x C. reticulataBlanco). Treatments were: fruits with without wax coating at room tempe...

Alstroemeria is one of the most popular cut flowers in European Union owing to its postharvest longevity and broad color spectra. Nevertheless, premature wilting decreases the aesthetic value of flowering branches even before the opening of the secondary florets in the fluorescence. The present study evaluated different biochemical and morphological traits of Alstroemeria cut ...

tuberose cut flower is considered one of the most important cut flowers from the viewpoint of production and export. the failure of developing buds into open ones and the abscission of floret are two of the common problems in the postharvest of tuberose cut flower that diminishes its longevity and therefore its market quality. this research was conducted to investigate the effect of 2,4-d sucro...
