Abstract Highlights

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of preservative solutions and immersion time that permit the warehousing of the flower alstroemeria for a prolonged period of time without affecting its quality. Two cultivars of alstroemeria: Silvia and Diamond, two immersion times: 3 and 9 hours, and four preservative substances: 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (8-HQC), Amino-oxyacetic acid (AOA), bee honey (MA), 8HQC + AOA + MA and water (AN) as a control were evaluated. The variables evaluated were: weight loss, appearance of the flower and foliage, and flower opening. A random design and the multiple measurement comparison Tukey test were used to analyze the results. The 8HQC and 8HQC + AOA + MA solution generated the lowest weight loss, best appearance of the flower and foliage and stimulated the greatest opening of the flower for floral stocks in the two alstroemeria cultivars. The cultivar Silvia had the greatest results with 3 hours of immersion time achieving the lowest weight loss, the best appearance flower and foliage, as well as the best flower opening. The cultivar Diamons with a 9 hour immersion time had the best characteristics of weight loss, best appearance of flowers and foliage, and the best flower opening.
