in order to examine the effects of essential oils and silver nanoparticles as anantimicrobial preservative in the solutions of alstroemeri cv. sukari cut flowers, anexperiment was conducted with 11 treatments and 3 replications in a completelyrandomized design. in this study, we used essences of carvacrol, thymol and zataria oilwithconcentrations of 50 and 100 mg l-1 and silver nanoparticles wi...

the aim of this research was to improve quality and vase life of cut gladiolus flowers. the investigation was done with the effects of different concentrations of essential oil of thymol and zataria oil (50 and 100 mg l-1) and silver nanoparticles (3 and 5 mg l-1) and 8-hydroxyquinolin sulfate (300 and 400 mg l-1) with sucrose 3%. in addition, distilled water, ethanol 500 mgl-1 and sucrose 3% w...

gerbera one of 10 important cut flowers in the world and iran. one of the most problems is low-life after harvest and neck bending. producers want to increase longevity of these flowers with using chemical solutions. with the aim of achieving the best chemical treatments to increase flower vase life gerbera goodtimming, nano silver (5 mg l-1), humic acid (50 mg l-1), gibberellic acid (2.5 mg l-...

 Increasing quality and vase life of cut flowers play vital role in flower production industry. . Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflora cv. Echo) has short vase life and it has been revealed that ethylene directly affect the initiation and process of senescence of petals. In this study, the effects of Silver and silicon nanoparticles with four concentrations of 0, 10, 20 and 40 mg L-1 with 4% sucrose...

The abscission of Alstroemeria petals is the serious problem at the industry of cut flowers of this plant. In this study, cut Alstroemeria cv. Bridal flowers were pulsed with solutions containing natural essential oil carvacrol, gibberellic acid and benzyladenine (50 and 100 mg L-1), -5-sulfosalicylic acid (1 and 1.5 mM) and sucrose (5 and 10%) for 24 hours. The distilled water was used as cont...

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...
