leaf yellowing is a major problem in postharvest of alstroemeria cut flowers. for delaying of leaf yellowing and increasing flower quality a completely randomized factorial design was carried out on the alstroemeria cut flowers (‘fuji’ cultivar). in this research ethanol (0, 2, 4, 6%), ga3 (0, 50, 100, 150 mg/litre) in two methods (pulse and continuous) were investigated on the flower vese life...

alstroemeria flower is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. some materials can increase longevity of cut flowers. the aim of this research was evaluating the effect of some chemical solutions on postharvest alstroemeria (cv. stratus) cut flowers. this experiment was conducted with two factors of sucrose at four concentrations, 0, 5, 10 and 15 g/l and salicylic acid (sa) at four c...

Alstromeria is a new cut flower in Iran that due to the high performance, long life, and pretty flowers and colors diversity is highly regarded. Premature yellowing of leaves in cut flowersAlstromeria before petal fall is the most important factor limiting the vase life of flowers. To delay leaf yellowing and increased quality, factorial experiment based on completely randomized design carried ...

Abstract This study was carried out in the laboratory of Shangqiu Institute Technology, Henan to investigate effect a different combination inorganic salt on quality and physiological characteristics cut flowers (CFs) Perpetual Carnation. Furthermore, find best preservation solution that can enhance ornamental value CFs Carnation prolong its vase life. Sucrose, 8-hydroxyquinoline, paclobutrazol...

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...

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...

Rose (Rosa hybrida L.) is one of the mostly cultivated cut flowers in Iran and around the world. The study was carried out to increase the vase life and quality of cut rose ‘Grand Prix` and ‘Avallanche` by using various floral preservative solutions. Floral preservative solutions were AgNO3, 8-HQS, nano silver and distilled water. Treatments were compared with tap water as control. The experime...
