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...

the aim of this reaserch was evaluathng the aluminum-sulphate concentration levels in preserved solution with stem recutting on longevity of rosa hybrida cv. varlon cut flowers. the investigation was conducted in horticultural lab,agriculturalcollege,zanjanuniversity. rose cut stems were produced in greenhouse from biennial mother stocks and were placed under the treatment of aluminum-sulphate ...

Alstroemeria is one of the most beautiful flowers in the family Alstroemeriaceae. One of the major problems of this cut flower is short life of leaves, this fact reduces the economic value of this cut flower. Abscission of petal before wilting is also considered as one of the most important problems of this flower. Petals of this flower are very sensitive to ethylene. A factorial experiment bas...

Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) is a cut flower grown due to the wide diversity of colors and longevity in post-harvest. The leaf area measurement fundamental plants because leaves are directly related several processes such as transpiration, radiation interception CO2 fixation that enable plant grow. objective work was determine an allometric equation for estimating lisianthus from linear di...

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silicon (Si), ethanol (Et), ascorbic acid (AA) and citric acid (CA) on vase life of Narcissus tazetta L. cv. ‘Shahla’cut flowers. For this purpose, an experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with Si (5, 10 and 20 mM), Et (2 and 4%), AA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1), CA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1) and control (distillated...
