- Abstract
The preservation effects of 9 kinds of preservatives were discussed in this paper. And their effects on ornamental quality of cut Ranunculus asiaticus were investigated. The results showed arranging cut Ranunculus asiaticus in a vase filled with 200 mg/L 8-HQC+1% sucrose+75 mg/L AgNO3 would effectively slow down the weight loss, promote the rise of flower diameter, prolong life and maintain the chlorophyll and anthocyanin content of cut flower. The preservative had a good fresh–keeping effect and was suitable for promotion in actual production.
