Abstract

‘Red Sim’ and ‘White Sim’ standard carnations were cut at bud stage from Chiang Mai highland production site pulsed and packed wet with silver thiosulfate or Physan-20 plus sucrose before shipping by truck to Bangkok. After arrival, they were opened in bud-opening solutions containing various concentrations of benzalkonium chloride plus sucrose. The best pulsing and bud-opening solution was found to be 200 ppm Physan-20+5% sucrose and 300 ppm benzalkonium chloride+5% sucrose respectively. Use of pulsing and bud-opening solutions with bud-cut carnations produced large blooms with short opening time, high percentage of bud opening and long vase life.
