Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect PF-279 Pseudomonas fluorecsens produced the highest cut-stem water uptake.
- Intervention effect Higher concentrations of Herbasperillum sp. produced the lowest cut-stem water uptake.
- Intervention effect Nutrient broth increased initial vase-solution pH.
- Mechanism Nutrient broth led to early cut-stem senescence compared with tap water.
- Intervention effect Nutrient broth reduced cut-stem hydraulic conductance compared with tap water.
- Intervention effect Tested bacterial strains did not control detrimental bacteria in gladiolus vase solutions.
- Intervention effect Tested bacterial strains did not extend vase life of cut gladiolus.
- Recommendation The tested bacterial strains should not be used in organic floral preservatives for cut gladiolus.
