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 ...

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...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Nano-silver (NS), calcium chloride (CaCl2) and their combinations on Gerbera jamesonii ‘Carambole’ cut flowers. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design (CRD) with 10 treatments and four replications, with three flowers in each replication. Treatments consisted of 5 mg L-1 NS, 1% and 2% CaCl2, 5 mg L-1 NS+ 1% CaCl2, ...

nanosilver of nanometer-sized silver (ag+) particles (2-5 nm diam) are used in various applications as an anti-microbial. boric acid (h3bo3) is water soluble (ph=7). boric acid is ethylene synthese inhibitor and reduce ethylene production through reducing the acc synthase and acc oxidase delays senescence of flower. in this study of different concentrations of boric acid and nano-silver was eva...

Alstromeria has beautiful flowers that is popular in the world. One of the most problem in commercial of this flower is ethylene sensitivity and bacterial contamination in stem end of cut flowers. In this experiment, effect of essential oils of bitter orange (0, 25 and 50 mg l-1) and lawson cypress (0, 100 and 200 mg l-1) and nonchemical treatment (with and without) with 18 treatments, 3 replic...

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is valuable in terms of production and exports in the world. Increased vase life of cut flowers is an important factor for their market acceptability. For this purpose this study was carried out to examine the effect of plant essential oils as compared to 8-hydroxy-quinoline sulfate on the control of bacteria population and the longevity of carnation cut flo...
