Effects of Chitosan in Extending the Vase Life of Cut Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema Morifolium Ramat) Flowers

The effect of the isolated bacteria strains on the vase life of cut flowers of Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema morifolium Ramat) was investigated. The bacteria strains were isolated from the cut stem end and vase water of cut chrysanthemum flowers. The longevity of vase life and total water uptake of...
