Title: Effect of Pulsing and Different Holding Solutions on Flower quality and Vase life of Tuberose (Polianthes tuberose Linn) cv. Calcutta Double
Abstract: An experiment was conducted to extend the vase life of tuberose cut flowers cv. CALCUTTA DOUBLE by using pulsing and different holding solutions. The results revealed that pulsing with sodium thiosulphate for 1hr along with holding solution of 4% sucrose+2%citric acid+20ppmAgNO 3 (T 9 ) recorded significantly higher water uptake, per cent floret opening, diameter of fully opened florets and vase life of flowers over control. T 9 is followed by 2% sucrose+2% citric acid+20ppm AgNO 3 (T 7 ) and 4% sucrose+4% citric acid+30ppm AgNO 3 (T 10 ).
