Description Golden rod (Solidago canadensis L.) is one of the most favoured flower
crops grown for its cut flowers in the world market. It is being used as a filler
material in bouquets and vases. Studies were conducted on the post-harvest life
of golden rod (Solidago canadensis L.). The present studies involving sucrose
solution, metallic salts like aluminium sulphate, cobalt sulphate and silver
thiosulphate were used alone or in combination with sucrose and 8-HQS with
the main objective of knowing their influence in maintaining the quality and
extending the post harvest life of the golden rod cut flowers.
The treatments T4 (STS @ 400 ppm + sucrose @ 2 per cent + 8-HQS @ 200
ppm) and T8 (aluminium sulphate @ 1000 ppm + sucrose @ 2 per cent + 8-HQS
@ 200 ppm) which were on par with each other registered higher cumulative
uptake of water (195.00 and 204.00 g/cut flower, respectively). Similarly, the
treatments T1 (tap water) and T2 (distilled water) which were on par with each
other registered lower cumulative loss of water (91.66 and 93.00 g/cut flower,
respectively). The treatments T3 (STS @ 400 ppm + sucrose @ 2 per cent + 8-
HQS @ 100 ppm), T1, T6 (cobalt sulphate @ 1000 ppm + sucrose @ 2 per cent +
8-HQS @ 200 ppm) and T7 (aluminium sulphate @ 1000 ppm + sucrose @ 2 per
cent + 8-HQS @ 100 ppm) which were on par with each other recorded higher
water balance (-5.66, -6.33, -6.00 and -6.00 g/cut flower, respectively). Higher
fresh weight of cut flowers was registered by the treatments T4 and T8 which
were on par with each other (9.33 and 10.00 g/cut flower, respectively). Higher
stem browning (100%) was recorded in the treatment T6. The longest vase life of
14.33 days was recorded with the treatment T7.
Beneficial and economical total cost to vase life ratio of 1.05 was associated
with the treatment T7 (aluminium sulphate @ 1000 ppm + sucrose @ 2 per cent
+ 8-HQS @ 100 ppm).
