in this research, the effects of thidiazuron pulse treatment and salicylic acid were examined to improve vase life and maintain the quality of alstroemeria ҅modena҆ cut flowers. the experiment was done in a factorial experiment based on rcd with 16 treatments, 3 replications and 48 plots. the flowers were placed in different concentrations of thidiazuron (0, 10, 20, and 50 μm) and salicylic acid ...

Evidence has been found suggesting that long-term therapy with topical antiglaucoma medications may decrease the success of glaucoma filtering surgery. To investigate this question further, the antiproliferative effects of the preservative benzalkonium chloride and three pure and commercially available beta-adrenergic antagonist preparations (timolol, betaxolol, and levobunolol) were studied on...

this study was carried out to investigate the effect of differentpreservative solutions to improve the keeping quality of tuberose (polianthes tuberosa cv. single). these preservative solutions (treatments) were: t1= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l agno3, t2= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l agno3 + 25 mg/l citric acid, t3= 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l hqs, t4 = 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l hqs+ 25 mg/l citric acid, t5= 2% sucro...

Widely used as a wood preservative and also in many polymeric applications for protection against insects and rodents. Copper naphthenate or more specifically copper naphthenate solution which consists of 20% copper naphthenate mixed with white spirits or mineral turps type solvents have been popularly reintroduced in the market as a formulation which is effective in its primary purpose of bein...

gladiolus is one of the flowers that used on cut flower and garden plants. an experiment was conducted to study the effects of chemical treatments on the vase life of gladiolus cut flower cv. ‘rose supreme’ with ten chemical treatment using complete randomize design with 3 replications. gladiolus cut flower was harvested when the 2-3 lowest bud had start showing color then cut flower were treat...

to study the effect of nitrogen form and ph of nutrient solution on the uptake and concentration of fe, zn, cu and mn in roots and shoots of spinach plant, a factorial experiment was conducted with two factors including nutrient solution ph in three levels (4.5, 6.5 and 8.0) and nitrate to ammonium ratio of nutrient solution in five levels (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100). the experiment ...

ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted to study the effectiveness of different preservative solutions on vase life and quality angelica cut inflorescences cv. Single. The concentrations citric acid at 100, 200 300 mg L-1, sucrose 3% 4% H2O2 0.1%, 0.2% 0.3% were used as preservatives, while distilled water control. single factor laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replica...

Disturbance in water relations is the major causes of vase life reduction and senescence in cut flowers This problem is mainly due to microorganism proliferation in the vase solution which leads to vascular occlusion and reduction in solution uptake by cut flowers. Therefore a comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the biocidal effect of nano silver particles (NSP) and compare it with so...

The effect of leaf extracts of Psidium guajava and Piper betle on prolonging vase life of cut carnation flowers was studied. "Carola" and "Pallas Orange" carnation flowers, at bud stage, were pulsed 24 hours with a floral preservative. Then, flowers were placed in a vase solution containing sprite and a "germicide" (leaf extracts of P. guajava and P. betle, 8-HQC, or a copper coin). Flowers tre...

Wood properties of young teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) is inferior, and then preservative treatment one possible solution to enhance its service life. The uptake movement preservatives through wood cell structure directly connected the permeability. There are two simple methods identify permeability: water soaking bubble test methods. This paper assesses permeability by assessment was conducted i...
