Abstract

Sucrose at 2 and 4% concentrations had significant effect on vase life of tuberose cv. Pearl Double cut spikes. Sucrose and GA3 influenced water uptake, vase life, fresh weight and floret opening. Non significant effect was observed on floret diameter and length due to all treatments. Over all observations suggest an increase in vase life with sucrose and plant growth regulator treatments.
