Effects of different concentrations of plant chemicals on vase life of rose varieties Utopia
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Rose is an important ornamental flower which is one of species that contains the highest amount of producing and exporting of cut branches around the world as well as in Iran. One of the most important researching issues in cut branches is to lengthen the life of these branches by using un chemical methods through application of medical plant essence in a proper density. This study was done in agricultural department of Zahedan Azad university by doing an experiment with a split plot frame work and randomly chosen samples in order to investigate the effect of plant compounds as antimicrobial compounds which have been used in flower conservative solutions. The used essence included hot mint, cumin and carnation, in five different levels (0, 100, 200, 300, 400 PPM). The zing features have been studied every four days until the twentieth day. Therefore, based on the results of the study, using carnation and hot mint – more than cumin – leads to increasing the percent of solution, weight and diameter of flower and reducing the flower withering. However, the hot mint (300 PPM) has a positively effective role on mentioned features which makes the flower life longer after 20 days of harvesting. Therefore it is recommended to use this compound with 300 PPM in conservative solution of rose in order to lengthen the flower life after picking them up.
