Abstract:

Gerbera one of 10 important cut flowers in the world and Iran. One of the most problems is low-life after harvest and neck bending. Producers want to increase longevity of these flowers with using chemical solutions. With the aim of achieving the best chemical treatments to increase flower vase life gerbera Goodtimming, nano silver (5 mg l-1), humic acid (50 mg l-1), gibberellic acid (2.5 mg l-1) and Lactobacillus plantarum 110 CFU m l-1 and Lactococcus lactis110 CFU ml-1 with sucrose (4%) compared with controls. This study in carried out with 6 replications. Cut flowers recutted to 35 ± 2 cm, and then tested in different solutions for 20 days. The results showed that silver nanoparticles (5 mg l-1) +sucrose 4%+gibberellic acid 2.5 mg l-1with the 19.5 days vase life compared with controls (17.67days) had the highest durability. Distilled water+ sucrose 4% with 5.98 mm stem diameter was better than control (5.49 mm) (P £0.01), while humic acid 50 mg l-1+ sucrose 4%+gibberellic acid 2.5 mg l-1 had lowest average daily stem diameter (5.44 mm), respectively. Highest water uptake observed in silver nanoparticles 5 mg l-1+sucrose 4%+gibberellic acid 2.5 mg l-1 treatment (8.78 ml g-1 F.W.). Silver nanoparticles 5 mg l-1+sucrose 4%+gibberellic acid 2.5 mg l-1 had highest fresh weight per day (24.89 g) and dry weight (4.96 g), respectively.

Effect of Salicylic Acid, Citric Acid and Ascorbic Acid on Post-harvest Quality and Vase Life of Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) Cut Flowers

Cut gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) flowers are sensitive to microbial contamination and have short vase life. The effect of salicylic acid, citric acid and ascorbic acid (50, 100 and 200 mg l-1) was evaluated on vase life of gerbera flowers. Changes in vase life, water absorption, and bacterial population in stem and vase solution, also biochemical characteristics such as protein concentration, li...

Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and Benzyl Adenine (BA) Effects on the Vase Life of Cycad’s Cut Foliage

Cycad is one of the most important cut foliage plants with several usages. This experiment was focused on increasing the vase life of Cycad’s cut foliage in normal storage condition. Experiment was based on a CRD with three replications. Treatments were conducted for four different levels of gibberellic acid (GA3) and benzyl adenine (BA) each one with 0, 50, 100 and 150 mg L-1, according to men...

Investigation of Some Morphological and Biochemical Characteristics and Vase Life of Gerbera jamesonii cv. Dune Cut Flower Using Humic Acid and Nano Calcium Chelate

In order to investigate the effect of humic acid and nano-calcium chelate on Gerbera jamesonii cv. Dune, an experiment was performed as factorial based on a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications in hydroponic conditions. First factor was included: humic acid in 4 concentrations of 0 (control), 500, 1000, and 2000 mg L-1 as drench and the second factor: nano-calciu...
