Evaluating the Vase Life of New Cut Flowers - Year 3 (2004)
Subject:
Evaluating the Vase Life of New Cut Flowers - Year 3 (2004)
Abstract:
Each year a large number of new cultivars and species made available from plant breeders, propagators, and suppliers are evaluated in the National Annual and Perennial Cut Flower Trial Programs, administered by N. C. State University and the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers (ASCFG). These new cultivars are tested at approximately 40 locations in the United States and Canada, providing valuable information on yield, stem length, and market appeal. However, a new cut flower must also have a long postharvest life. This study screened 21 new cut flower species/cultivars to determine which ones have a long postharvest life.
