Abstract :
Chrysanthemum cut flower is not sensitive to ethylene and its vase life
depends on vascular blockage. In order to evaluating of effect of antibiotics and
essential oils on the vase life and quality characteristics of chrysanthemum cut
flower an experiment carried out based on a RCD with 10 treatments: Artemisia
at 3 levels (10, 30 and 50 %), amoxicillin at 3 levels (100, 200 and 300 mg l-1),
Rifampin at 3 levels (100, 200 and 300 mg l-1) and the control plants in 3 replications.
Analysis of variance showed that effect of treatments on measured
traits was significant at p?0.05 or p?0.01. Mean comparisons also revealed that
30% of Artemisia oil, 200 mg l-1 amoxicillin and 200 mg l-1 rifampin caused the
longest vase life, the highest preservative solution uptake. petalʹs soluble protein
contents, leaf chlorophyll and maximum fresh weight.
