Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effect of salicylic and citric acid applications on the vase life, relative fresh weight, water uptake, bud opening change and total water uptake of cut narcissus. In the research, flowers were harvested at the unbloom goose-neck stage. As applications, purified water (T1- control), 300 ppm (T2) and 150 ppm (T3) salicylic acid, 150 ppm (T4) and 50 ppm (T5) citric acid were determined. In the research, vase life, bud opening change, water uptake and total water uptake were found to be higher in T5 application compared to other applications. It was observed that T2 application was more effective in increasing the relative fresh weight as 112%. The highest doses of growth regulators caused damage at the bottom of flower stems. As a result, it was found that treatments applied in low doses as 150 ppm salicylic acid and 50 ppm citric acid on the investigated parameters of Narcissus tazetta flower were more effective.
