Abstract

The experiment was conducted during the year 2019-21 at Horticulture Research Station, OUAT, Bhubaneswar laid out in factorial CRD design to check the vase life of Melaleuca bracteata foliage by using distilled water (control) and different pulsing, holding solutions and 6 modules, which contains different spacing, pit size, FYM, basal fertilizer dose, water soluble fertilizers and growth regulator (BAP). Pulsing solution containing Sucrose (2%) + Al2(SO4)3 (1000 ppm) (9.89 days) resulted long vase life of foliage followed by solution containing Sucrose (2%) + BA (50 ppm) (9.10 days) in module VI. Whereas holding solution containing Sodium Benzoate (150 ppm) (9.10 days) showed long vase life of foliage followed by Sodium Benzoate (100ppm) (9.02 days) in module VI.
