Vase life of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora) in gibberellic acid solutions.

摘要

The maintenance of postharvest quality of cut flowers is extremely important in order to reward the work spent to increase the production with the commercialization of the product. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different gibberellic acid concentrations on quality maintenance of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora [Chrysanthemum morifolium]). The treatments were composed by packing of chrysanthemum cultivars Flippo, Recital and Bronze Repim, in solutions with 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 mg gibberellic acid/litre. Gibberellic acid in postharvest solutions increased the senescence of flowers and leaves..
