TAILIEUCHUNG - Factors affecting post-harvest life of flower crops

Prolonging the post-harvest life is essential to assure more life of flowers. For prolonging vase life, we should study about the pre-harvest, harvest and postharvest factors of flower crops that ultimately affects the flower life. There are a series of steps involved to prepare flowers for market after harvesting known as post-harvest handling. These steps include: Harvesting, Conditioning, Pre-cooling, Pulsing, Grading, Bunching, Wrapping, Packaging, Storage, Transport and Sale. All the factors that affect post-harvest life of a flower should managed properly to provide optimum condition for plant growth. Different biocide, holding, pulsing solution, growth regulators and different storage temperature are used to promote vase life of lowers. | 2018 7 1 548-557 EXCELLENT PUBLISHERS International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 7 Number 01 2018 Journal homepage http Review Article https Factors Affecting Post-Harvest Life of Flower Crops Jagreeti Gupta and .

Introduction Flowers have always remained an integral part of human s life and they are very important in the Indian traditional way of life. With increasing standard of living the demand for flowers has increased and meeting these demands depends largely on increasing the production and more importantly proper postharvest handling at all levels. In floriculture industries the post-harvest losses is a major issue and is a worldwide problem. India has exported 22 MT of floriculture products to the world for the worth of crores in 2013-14 Anonymous 2014 . On the other hand because of their highly perishable nature
