Abstract :
The aim of this research is evaluation of temporary treatments (pulsing) of distilled water or Calcium chloride 4% + Sucrose 3% and their cross effects on medicinal plants as permanent on the changes in fresh weights and flower diameter of Gerbera flowers. Extracts of Thymus Vulgaris and Stevia rebaudiana used as permanent treatments in levels 0.1 and 0.2 mg/l. This research was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications which were three flowers in ever unit. The best results in preventing fresh weight decreasing were in thyme extract with 0.2 mg/l + distilled water pulse treatment. The most lose weigh was in control treatment of Calcium chloride 4% + Sucrose 3% pulsing. However, the best result in flower diameter was found in thyme 0.1 mg/l in Calcium Chloride + Sucrose. The lowest of flower diameter was observed in control treatment of (Calcium Chloride + Sucrose pulse).In fact the cross effects between pulse and permanent treatments were very important in this research.
