Abstract

Orchis palustris grows naturally in Erzurum and has drawn attention as new cut-flower. This study
was carried out to determine the vase life of Orchis palustris under different conditions including the use of chemical
preservatives; (8-HQ, AgNO3, sodium benzoate, sugar, AlSO4 and kinetin). The results indicated that the B solution
prolonged the life of the Orchids by 23 days, which is 8.4 days longer than the control. It was also found that Orchis
palustris which stays alive for up to14.6 days even in tap, can be a cut as flower and vase plant with life length of
its flowers and exclusive size of its flowers.

Orchis palustris’in Vazo Ömrü ve Diğer Bazı Özellikleri Üzerine Değişik Kimyasal Karışımlarının Etkisi

Abstract

Orchis palustris Erzurum ilinde doğal olarak yetişmekte ve çiçeklerin güzellikleri ile yeni bir kesme
çiçek türü olarak dikkatleri çekmektedir. Çalışma Orchis palustris’in biri Control (musluk suyu) olmak üzere dört
ayrı solüsyonda (8-HQ, AgNO3, sodyum benzonat, şeker, AlSO4 ve kinetin) vazo ömürlerini belirlemek amacıyla
yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda Orchis palustris’in B solüsyonunda 23.0 gün vazo ömrü ile Control solüsyonuna
göre 8.4 gün (57.5%) artış sağladığı gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca Control solüsyonu olan musluk suyunda bile 14.6 gün
yaşayan Orchis palustris’in gerek çiçek ömrü gerekse de etkileyici çiçek boyu ve güzellikleri ile iyi bir kesme ve
vazo çiçeği olabileceği belirlenmiştir
