Abstract

Speed desiccation after detaching cut foliage from mother plants is one of the main problems that faces cut foliage producers. Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (selloum) leaves have a large surface area, allowing for much water loss through transpiration and that can be reduced by using anti-transpiration agents. Inferior temperature during shipment of cut flowers and foliage causes a negative effect on their vase life. Two experiments were carried out. The first one was to investigate the effect of spraying the cut selloum leaves with Na2CO3 at 5 and 10%, Aloe vera extract at 5 and 10%, sweet almond oil at 5 and 10%, glycerol at 5 and 10% and tap water as a control on its longevity and quality. The second one was to study the effects of Aloe vera extract at 10%, sweet almond oil at 5% and glycerol at 5% on the quality of selloum cut leaves during cold dry storage.In the first experiment, the highest increase in vase life was obtained after the application of glycerol at 5% and Aloe vera extract at 10%. In the second experiment, the results showed that all treatments caused a significant increase in survival rate and vase life after storage as compared to control without significant differences in between. Cooling conditions caused a significant increase in all studied parameters. Using Aloe vera extract at 10% or sweet almond oil at 5% under cooling conditions caused the highest significant increase in chlorophyll content as compared to other treatments
