Abstract

The present investigation was conducted to study the effect of growth regulators and sucrose viz., Benzyl adenine (BA), Gibberellic acid (GA3), Salasilic acidalong with 4% sucrose as a pulse treatment on post-harvest quality and life of anthurium flowers. Treatments of pulsing with 10 mg/l BA and10 mg/l GA3+4% sugar significantly enhancedvase life and delayedflower abscission up to 19 days as compared to control (12days). Further, similar pulsing treatments improved physiological parameters like water uptake (ml), exhibited spike fresh weight (%) and diminished electrolyte leakage (%) in flower spathe and improve flower quality as it decreased color fading in spathetissue as compared to control.
