Background Cut flowers speedily correct in quality and foreshorten their vase life after harvest time . Various post - harvest methods are being sought to go their vase life .
This subject area enquire the effects of unlike store surroundings and Streptomycin treatments on postharvest quality and vase life-time of gerbera flowers . For pre - water preoccupation intervention , harvested genus Gerbera flowers were all treated with silver thiosulfate ( STS 0.2 mM ) under room term for 6 h. Then , Streptomycin treatments were used alone and combined with sugar at dissimilar concentrations in 3 unlike environs . Their unlike storage environment were used under room conditions after being kept in STS for 6 h ( 1st environment ) , under elbow room conditions after being hold at 2 ° C in cold storage for 48 total heat ( 2nd environs ) , storage in frigid storage at 2 ° speed of light until vase life drop dead ( third environs ) . Vase root Streptomycin concentrations were 0 ( control ) , 200 , 400 , and 600 ppm alone , commingle with 5 % sugar . The experimentation were conducted in a completely randomized design ( CRD ) with three reverberation and three weakened flowers were used in each replication . consequence Streptomycin give way the good consequence for vase life specially when it was combined with sugar , increase the vase life as compare to the control . Compared to the control intervention , with streptomycin treatments , the outstanding step-up in vase life was keep an eye on in 600 ppm Streptomycin + 5 % carbohydrate treatments of the first surroundings ( 67.5 % ) ( 8.22–13.77 day ) . When the handling were equate , the recollective vase life ( 13.77 days ) was obtained in 600 ppm Streptomycin + 5 % Sugar treatment in the 1st environment , the longest vase life ( 16.67 days ) was obtain in 200 ppm Streptomycin + 5 % simoleons treatment in the 2nd surroundings and the longest vase animation ( 73.50 solar day ) was obtain in 600 ppm Streptomycin + 5 % gelt intervention in the 3rd environment . When the environments were compare , the longest vase life-time ( 59.17 days ) was obtained in the third surroundings . Conclusions As a solvent of this study , it was set that the usance of Streptomycin in combining with sugar ease up upright issue compared to the control group . Streptomycin compactness of 600 ppm is recommended for go the vase life of cut flower and this compounding may be an substitute and effective method .
A streptomycin assiduity of 600 ppm at room condition and 200 ppm at scummy temperatures such as cold storage is appropriate .
