Title: Effects of floral preservative solutions for vase life evaluation of Gerbera
​Abstract: An experiment was conducted to evaluate the postharvest life of cut gerbera cultivars under the different preservative solutions. Three (yellow, magenta and orange) cut gerbera cultivars were placed on nine different preservative solution viz. T1: Control; T2: Sugar (100-ppm); T3: Citric Acid (100-ppm); T4: Salicylic Acid (100-ppm); T5: Chitosa (100-ppm); T6: Sugar + Citric Acid (100-ppm); T7: Sugar + Salicylic Acid (100-ppm); T8: Citric Acid + Chitosan (100-ppm); T9: Salicylic Acid + Chitosan (100-ppm) following completely randomized design. Yellow gerbera provided the maximum petals water content (52.4%) when placed in T9 and also provided 8.0 days more vase life compared to the control. For magenta and orange gerbera, maximum petals water content (magenta: 56.3% and orange: 63.0%) in T8 and also 6.9 days more vase life than control.
Key Words: Gerbera cultivars, Preservative solutions and Vase life
