Abstract

Sprenger fern leaves held in distilled water and solution containing 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/l AgNO3 with 2% sucrose at ambient temperature (26.8oC and 62.5% RH). The results showed that sprenger fern leaves held in the solution containing 10 mg/l AgNO3 with 2% sucrose had the longest vase life of 7.8 days with the slowest yellowing of 4.3 days while those held in distilled water had the shortest vase life of 4.1 days with the most rapid yellowing of 2.7 days. Sprenger fern leaves held in 10 mg/l AgNO3 with 2% sucrose also had higher water uptake rates and less fresh weight loss than those held in distilled water.
