Abstract/Summary

Four different commercially available floral preservatives were tested on four different cut flower varieties. The parameters studied include leaf and flower quality, leaf and flower longevity, water clarity, pH and bacterial growth. Treatments were replicated twice and results were summarized. Leaf and flower quality and leaf and flower longevity of carnations were finest with Eurofleur. Chrysanthemums and mums expressed better results in the Chrysal solution. No significant amount of improvements were manifested by the roses treated with the different commercially available floral preservatives over the control sample.
