dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The investigation entitled, “Postharvest handling of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa Linn.) cv. Double” were carried out at the Experimental Farm and Laboratory of Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University ofHorticulture and Forestry, Nauni-Solan in the year 2012-2013. During the study period, three experiments viz. Standardization of pulsing solution treatments; effect of various wrapping materials and storage durations and standardization of holding solutions for post harvestlife of tuberose cut flowers were conducted separately. Pulsing solutions experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (Factorial) with 9 treatments and 3 durations replicated thrice. It was observed that pulsing solution comprising of 10 % Sucrose + 400 ppm 8-HQC for 12 hours resulted in best treatment for most of the post harvest parameters such as floret size (4.71 cm), maximum percentage of opened florets (83.44 %), vase life (14.52 days) and maximum amount of solution consumed (38.29 ml/spike). The experiment on wrapping material and storage durations was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (Factorial) with 7 wrapping materials and 4 storage durations replicated thrice. Wrapping of cut stems in cellophane and stored for 3 days at 4 0 C increased the floret quality and longevity. Holding solutions experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with 13 treatments and replicated thrice. It was observed that solution comprising of 4 % Sucrose + 300 ppm 8-HQC + 50 ppm GA3resulted best treatment for most of the postharvest parameters such as vase life (14.24 days), amount of holding solution consumed (44.08 ml/spike) and appearance.en_US
