Abstract

An experiment was executed to investigate the role of different concentrations of sucrose and sodium hypochlorite as pulsing solution on post harvest storage life and other characteristics of cut chrysanthemum cv Arctic queen flower after harvest. The experiment was framed as completely randomized design with factorial concept with three levels of sucrose (5, 10, 20 %) and with 50 ppm NaOCl with 3 replications. The output of the experiment revealed that flower weight (8.26 g), water uptake (13.76 g), fresh weight change (123.76g), and maximum vase life (10.23 days) was achieved in 10% sucrose for 4 hrs pulsing treatment.
