Abstract
Response of different chemicals on vase life and petals quality of Oriental lily cv. ‘Crystal blanca’

Results revealed that sucrose had maximum vase life (9 days) followed by Aluminum Sulfate (7 days), ethanol (6.66) and CaCl2.2H2O (5.66 days) while, minimum vase life was observed in Control (3.66 days) and followed by copper sulfate (4.66 days) (Figure 1)
Summary
Sucrose, Supper Sulfate and EthanolIn past, cut flowers were kept in simple etc. have been used in different formulation water but with the passage of time, scientists and their combination to increase the vase introduced many floral preservatives and life of different cut flowers.biocides to increase the vase life and qualityLilium longiflorum belongs to family of cut flowers. Several preservatives and Liliaceae and is an important commercial biocides i.e. Silver Nitrate, Aluminum flower of the world. It is native to Islands South of Japan is an important flowering crop having a great commercial value as a cut flower due to its excellent keeping quality, colors and flower arrangements It should be harvested at (when flower bud shows its color for distinct or export market and flower opening stage for local market). Carbohydrates are very important for maintenance of turgor pressure so quality and vase life of a flower can be significantly increased by supplying sucrose or/with some other ethylene inhibiting chemicals [8, 9]. Gibberellin (GA3), Cytokinin’s (benzyl adenine), bactericides (8-HQS), Silver thiosulfate (STS) used to improve the flower quality and resulted in extended the vase life (11.50, 11.26 days) compared with control (8.13 days) [11]
