Preharvest application of citric acid is a novel method in vase life extension of Cut flowers which is reported on tuberose earlier and confirmed here on lilium. In this research three levels of Citric acid (0, 0.075, 0.15 percent v/v) and malic...

Preharvest application of citric acid is a novel method to extend the vase life of cut flowers. In this greenhouse research, three levels of citric acid (0, 0.075, 0.15 percent v/v) and three levels of malic acid (0, 0.075, 0.15 percent v/v) were...

. Results showed alcohol treatments had no positive effect on increasing vase life of Alstroemeria. Applying essential oils could extend the vase-life. The greatest longevity of vase life was related to 50 mg L−1 of thyme essential oil treatment...

Abstract

Rose, being among the most important cut-flowers to the market, suffers from

a limited vase life due to withering. According to the literature, storage carbohydrates

in the plant are important to longevity of its cut...

, Gerbera jamesonii, Lilium asiaticum, Rosa hybrida and Polianthes tuberose with 3 replications and 3 samples for each replication. Applying salicylic acid extended the vase life of cut flowers significantly except in Rosa Hybrida. The highest vase life...
