Title: Vase life improvement of yellow gladiolus through different preservative solutions
Abstract: An experiment was conducted to find out the suitable preservative solution which provides the longest vase life for yellow gladiolus against eight preservative solutions coded from T0 to T7 and these were T1: 100-ppm silvar thiosulphate (STS); T2: 3% sucrose + 100-ppm citric acid (CA); T3: 3% sucrose + 100-ppm salicylic acid (SA); T4: 3% sucrose + 100-ppm STS; T5: 5% sucrose + 100-ppm CA; T6: 5% sucrose + 100-ppm SA; T7: 5% sucrose + 100-ppm STS with T0: Control (Tap water). T4 treatment provided maximum spike diameter (13.9 mm) and floret opening (96.8%) at 12th days after treating, maximum days to basal floret senescence (12.4), maximum no. of floret open during basal floret senescence (10.5), maximum solution absorption (47.8 ml/spike), maximum vase life (21.5 days) with minimum fresh weight loss (25.1%) and floret wilting (29.3%) at 12th days after treating which was closely followed by T3. However, incidence of stem rotting was not in T2, T3 and T4. Blend solutions of STS/SA (100-ppm) and 3% sucrose is recommended to use for the maximization of the postharvest life of yellow gladiolus.
Key Words: Gladiolus, Preservative solutions and Vase life
