Abstract
Tiger, Pink Westland and Horlekijn chrysanthemum and Red Corso carnation were stored at 4 ± 1° c. Chrysanthemum were then pulsed in the solution of 75 mg/l citric acid, 25 mg/l of AgNO3 and 3.5 percent of sucrose for 24 hours. For carnation after storage flower were pulsed in the solution of silverthiosulfate (STS) for 24 hours. The results showed that vase life of both chrysanthemum and carnation varied inversely with storage time. Chemical solutions slightly prolonged vase life of chrysanthemum and carnation.
