Abstract
Abstract Pulsing gladiolus stems at 21°C with 20% sucrose in combination with AgNO 3 before storage of 7 or 10 days resulted in greater floret opening and size than those not pulsed. A silver treatment alone was not effective. The sucrose fulfills the requirements for a carbohydrate source and osmoticum which are necessary for floret growth and development. This treatment with sucrose is recommended prior to shipping or storage of gladiolus for long periods.
