For the improvement the postharvest longevity of cut alstroemeria (Alstroemeria hybrida L.), a factorial experiment was carried out based on RCD with 2 factors of stem end splitting at two levels (5 cm splitting and without splitting) and ethanol at five levels (0, 1, 2, 4 and 6%), 10 treatments, 3 replications and 30 plots. In this experiment, the estimated traits included vase life, water abs...

the present study has assessed the effect of cola in increasing flower longevity of flower and delaying aging of cut alstroemeria ‘balance’. distilled water was used as control. traits of flower diameter, solution absorption ,anthocyanins, total soluble solids and chlorophyll were measured at 3 times and vase life was measured daily. based on the results, flower diameter, anthocyanins and chlor...

The effects of postharvest blue light exposure have never been studied on cut flowers, so the present study aimed to explore duration (6, 12, 18, and 24 h) silver nanoparticle (SNP) application (5, 10, 15, 20 mg l−1) quantitative qualitative traits Alstroemeria ‘Napoli’ flowers. control flower received distilled water without exposure. longest vase life (22.66 days) was related 10 l−1 SNP, not ...

Two factorial experiments were conducted to study the interactive effects of four levels of sucrose (0, 20, 40 and 60 g l-1), two levels of citric acid (0 and 160 mg l-1) and two levels of one of the following compounds (aluminum sulphate, 0 and 160 mg l-1 and silver nitrate, 0 and 120 g l-1) on vase life and quality attributes of lisianthus cut flowers ‘Mariachi blue fonce.’ The experiments ca...

The effects of pulse treatments with 0.2 mM silver thiosulfate complex (STS), 5 and 10% sucrose, 0.2% calcium chloride (CaCl2) their combinations on the vase life soluble carbohydrate aurone levels in cut snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) flowers were investigated. In treatment, treated these chemical solutions for 24 h before being transferred to distilled water. uptake solution was decreased STS...
