dc.description.abstractPresent investigation was carried out during 2018-19 at Model Floriculture Centre and Department of Horticulture at G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar Uttarakhand. The objective of the investigation was to study the effects of various floral preservatives on storage as well as vase life of Gladiolus grandiflorus var. Nova Lux which followed a completely randomized design in laboratory conditions. The experiment had thirteen treatment combinations of sucrose, 8 Hydroxy quinoline citrate (8-HQC) and AgNO3. Three replications were given per treatment which intrinsically followed 3 further replications. The influence of floral preservatives showed statistically significant results for various floral characters such as floret diameter, longevity, spike length, preservative uptake, floret opening percentage, blooming period etc. over the control. For storage life, the optimum treatment combination recorded as per the data analyzed is found to be of T2 (sucrose 3%) of 15.44 days over the control showing 10.29 days. For vase life, the optimum treatment combination recorded as per the data analyzed is found to be of T8 (8-HQC 300 ppm, sucrose 6%) of 11.11 days over the control T1 showing vase life duration of 8.46 days.en_US
