Abstract

Post-harvest water use of leatherleaf fern ( Rumohra adiantiformis [G. Forst] Ching) was not affected when Cloud Cover, Vapor Gard or Wilt Pruf 1 1 Cloud Cover (a.i. acrylic polymer emulsion), Vapor Gard (a.i. pinolene) and Wilt Pruf (a.i. pinolene) are registered trademarks of Adkar Inc., McAllen, TX, Miller Chemical and Fertilizer Co., Hanover, PA and Nursery Specialty Co., Greenwich, CT, respectively. were applied 3–28 days prior to harvest. However, post-harvest anti-transpirant dips reduced water use during the first 24 h. The shortest vase life occurred in fronds dipped in water. The incidence of frond curl was not influenced by anti-transpirant applications.
