Title: Influence of different pulsing and holding solutions on vase life of tuberose
Abstract: Extended of the vase life is a crucial point of view for commercial cut flower. To improve the vase life of tuberose some preservative solution viz. T0: Tap water (Control); T1: Sugar (50-ppm); T2: Citric Acid (50-ppm); T3: Salicylic Acid (50-ppm); T4: Chitosan (50-ppm); T5: Silvar Thiosulphate (50-ppm); T6: Sugar + Citric Acid (50-ppm); T7: Sugar + Salicylic Acid (50-ppm); T8: Sugar + Chitosan (50-ppm) and T9: Sugar + Silvar Thiosulphate (50-ppm) were used as vase solution. Maximum floret opening (42.7%), first floret wilting (4.3 days), first petal dropping (5.3 days), solution uptake (74.0 ml), petal water content (54.3%) and vase life (9.7 days) was found from T7 which was followed by T6. Findings of the study indicated that carbohydrate and acidic mixture as vase solution greatly influence the shelf life of the cut tuberose.
Key words: Polianthes tuberosa L., chemical preservatives and vase life
