Interaction effect of sucrose and salicylic acid on vase life of cut Gerbera flowers

The effects of salicylic acid and sucrose on cut Gerbera and 12 %) was compared to the control (distillated water) conducted in a complete randomized design (CRD) concentration of 4% sucrose + 800 mg L-1 salicylic acid preservative solution. 4% sucrose + 800 mg L-1 salicylic acid L-1 salicylic acid also decreased the stem curvature. salicylic acid and control treatment. According to variance analysis, significant differences were observed among salicylic acid, 12% sucrose + 400 mg L-1 salicylic acid and 4% day with 36.35, 28.28 and 31.65 ml respectively. According to variance analysis, significant differences were observed among 800 mg L-1 salicylic acid, 8% sucrose + 600 mg L-1 6 and 9 day with 4.16, 3.45 and 2.83 % respectively.
