Abstract

The effect of maleic hydrazide (MH) in a holding solution containing 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate (HQS) and sucrose on the vase life of ‘Christian Dior’ cut roses was studied in relation to their water uptake, fresh weight changes, water balance, water loss, water conductivity and vascular blockage. The holding solution containing 250 mg/l HQS and 5% sucrose with optimum concentration of 400 mg/l MH increased vase life, water uptake, fresh weight and water conductivity and reduced water loss, vascular blockage as compared to the holding solution without MH. MH + sucrose was less effective than HQS + sucrose in prolonging the vase life of cut roses.
