Abstract
The main goal of this study was to investigate the effects of nano-silver (NS), gibberellic acid (GA 3) and benzyl adenine (BA) on some postharvest quality characteristics and vase life of ‘Pinkcastellaro’ carnation cut flowers. This research was performed in a completely randomized factorial design with five replications. Cut flowers were treated with nano-silver (0, 5, or 10 mgl -1), GA 3 (0, 5, or 10 mgl -1), and BA (0, 40, or 80 mgl -1). Some postharvest characteristics such as total soluble solids (TSS), chlorophyll index (CI), water intake (WI), and flowers longevity (FL), flower diameter (FD) and Relative water content (RWC) were evaluated during vase life. Results indicate that application of NS and GA mixture had the best effects on various parameters. Variance analysis showed that interaction between two factors (NS× GA3) had the most beneficial effects on some traits such as TSS, CI, WI, and FL. This was while interaction between NS and GA3 did not have a significant effect on FD and RWC. All levels of GA3 had a positive effect on qualitative characteristics and longevity of cut flowers. For most characteristics there was not a significant differences between GA3 and NS treatments at 5 and 10 mgl -1 concentrations. In general the results indicate that application of 5 mgl -1 of NS and GA3 in combination with 80 mgl -1 BA could have the most beneficial effects on vase life and postharvest quality of ‘Pinkcastellaro’ carnation cut flowers.
