Postharvest Life of Tuberose Cultivar Pearl Double Spike as Affected by GA3, NAA and Sucrose

Jitendra Kumar, Daljeet Singh

Abstract

Sucrose at 2 and 4% concentrations had significant effect on vase life of tuberose cv. Pearl Double cut spikes. Sucrose and GA3 influenced water uptake, vase life, fresh weight and floret opening. Non significant effect was observed on floret diameter and length due to all treatments. Over all observations suggest an increase in vase life with sucrose and plant growth regulator treatments.
