Abstract:
Chinese rose is an important species in the international fresh-cut flower trade,and vase solution is the main means to extend the life of fresh-cut flowers.Most of the bottling solutions currently on the market contain toxic ingredients,which limits their application.As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb in China,it has fungicidal and antibacterial functions.In order to study the effect of solanum indicum L.on the freshness of cuttings,and screen suitable formula for cutting rose.In this study,we analyzed the effects of different concentrations of different infusions of the three infusions of solanum indicum L.on the life span of’Corolla’moonflower from the morphological indexes of cut flowers and the physicochemical indexes of the bottling solution.The results showed that 7.5 mL·L
-1 ethanol extract of solanum indicum L.had the best effect on the morphological indexes,the longest bottling time,and the advantage in physical and physiological indexes such as pH,salinity,TDS,microbial population,and evaporation in the bottle.
