The respiration of cut flowers of rose (Rosa hybrida L. ‘First Red’) and gypsophila (Gypsophila paniculata L. ‘Bristol Fairy’) increased exponentially with increasing respiration, with a Q10 value between 0 and 10°C of 3 for both flowers. The vase life of the flowers was negatively affected by simulated transport at higher temperatures whereas dry storage for 5 days at 0°C resulted in a vase li...

The effectiveness of fungistatic atmospheres for postharvest control of Botrytis cinerea Pers. infections on cut rose flowers (Rosa hybrids L.) was investigated. Storing cut ‘Sonia’, ‘Royalty’, and ‘Gold Rush’ roses at 2.5C with 10% CO2 for 5 days, followed by 2 days of cold storage in air, reduced the number of B. cinerea lesions that developed on inoculated and noninoculated flower petals by ...

light intensity is considered a limiting factor in greenhouse rose production. the main aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of shading treatments (0, 25, 50, and 65% shading) on quality and chlorophyll content of cut rose (rosa hybrida cv. avalanche), under greenhouse conditions. the experiment was planned in randomized completely block design with four replications. all shoots we...

Abstract Alternative strategies in plant protection are required due to political and environmental conditions. Basic substances can potentially benefit for modern conventional organic horticulture. In the case of ornamentals, little is known about effect basic within canopy reduce foliar diseases. Podosphaera pannosa one most severe diseases production cut roses. this study, different cultivar...

Abstract The rose, liked by many people, is a flower that famous for its beauty. However, the beauty of roses cannot last long because relatively short period freshness. One effort can be done to extend freshness use preservative solution. Natural ingredients used solutions they are cheap and easy obtain. purpose this study was determine effect natural in solution soaking time on organoleptic q...
