important cut flowers in tropical and sub tropical areas of the world and has the seventh rate of production between all cut flowers of Iran. In order to investigate different effects of storage temperatures (8 weeks at 4 °C, 4 weeks at 4 °C + 4 weeks at 20 °C, 8 weeks at 12 °C, 4 weeks at 12 °C+ 4 weeks at 20 °C and 8 week at 20 °C) and different concentrations of gibberellic acid (0, 150 and ...

chrysanthemum cut flower is not sensitive to ethylene and its vase life depends on vascular blockage. in order to evaluating of effect of antibiotics and essential oils on the vase life and quality characteristics of chrysanthemum cut flower an experiment carried out based on a rcd with 10 treatments: artemisia at 3 levels (10, 30 and 50 %), amoxicillin at 3 levels (100, 200 and 300 mg l-1), ri...

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles pulsing treatment (0, 25, 75 and 125 mg L−1) on vase life and some postharvest physiological parameters of cut rose flower ʻHigh & Magicʼ in sucrose solution (0, 2 and 3%). This research performed as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications under 23 ± 2 °C, 60 ± 5% RH and...

crisis due to global warming and its associated damaging consequences, including salinity, it is essential to develop plant resistance to salinity level. in this study, an experiment was conducted using different levels of salinity (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2% sodium chloride) had on rosa hybrida, as the most important cut flowers in the world. results showed that by increasing of salinity, sodium...

Araucaria excelsa L. of Araucariaceae family is a beautiful conifer which has a high economic importance in the flower industry. A factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with two factors: 1. Irrigation intervals in 2, 4 and 6 days (I1, I2 and I3) and 2. The growth bed in pots 3 L included M1 (100 % v/v cocopeat), M2 (100%  municipal waste compost), M3 (100 % vermicompo...

Tuberose is one of the most important aromatic cut flower among ornamental plants that its growth and quality is influenced by the type and percentage of mineral compounds in the substrate. This study was carried out on the basis of a randomized complete design to explore the impact of feldspar, talc, dolomite and tuff minerals at the rate of 10, 20 and 40% incorporated with garden soil and man...

violet is one of the ornamental plants with a good value in landscaping and herbal medicine. salicylic acid is a signaling agent involving in secondary metabolite production. the aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological responses of violet flowers to exogenous salicylic acid. this experiment was conducted in the greenhouse, as a completely randomized design. salicylic acid was spraye...

The impact of phenylphthalamic acid (PPA) rates including 0 (PPA0), 1000 (PPA1000), 2000 (PPA2000) or 3000 (PPA3000) mg L-1 and perfect fertilizer rates including 0 (PF0), 100 (PF100), 200 (PF200) and 300 (PF300) mg L-1 was studied on vegetative and reproductive growth of ornamental pep...

In this study, the effects of three different bacterial isolates added to vase solution on life were investigated. All significantly increased gerbera cut flowers. While flowers in control was 3 days, period reached up 11 days kept containing bacteria. Daily water uptake decreased with increasing time all treatments. Although there some differences between treatments terms daily uptake, it has ...
