Postharvest Quality and Longevity of Gerbera Varieties as Affected by Different Floral Preservatives
Abstract: Gerbera, Gerbera jamesonii of Asteraceae family is grown for garden decoration, cut flowers and stands at fourth position in international flower market. Cut gerbera flowers are sensitive to microbial contamination, insufficient water uptake and short vase life. Use of sucrose with organic acids as preservative solution may help to increase the postharvest life of cut flowers. So, an experiment was conducted in the Horticulture Laboratory of Lamjung Campus during January …
