| Abstract:
Improving the quality and vase life of cut flowers of Anthurium through the application of thidiazuron (TDZ) was investigated. TDZ was the most effective in prolonging the vase life of flowers at concentration of 10 and 15 µM (21.5 and 21 d, respectively) while treatment of 100 ppm BA had the shortest vase life (16.4 d) as compared to control (18.4 d). Besides, TDZ maintained green color on spathe in cut Anthurium. However, there were no significant differences in water uptake and changes in flower color among all treatments. | |
