Abstract EN
The use of pulse solutions containing antimicrobials has been reported, but more research is necessary.
To increase vase life and to study their effect on opening inflorescences, silver nanoparticles were used in vase solutions for cv.
Puma Chrysanthemum stems.
The nanoparticles were synthesized biologically using Chenopodium ambrosioides L.
applied at concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 5 mM and compared with a control.
Treatments were replicated five times.
The stems were cut to 50 cm and observed until the end of their vase life.
Low concentrations of silver nanoparticles promoted inflorescence opening and leaf yellowing, while the control leaves remained green, but there was a lower degree of inflorescence opening.
High concentrations of silver nanoparticles (0.5, 1, and 5 mM) caused senescence due to low water uptake through the stems.
Statistical differences in inflorescence opening and diameter, bacterial growth (CFU mL−1) in vase solutions, fresh weight, water uptake, and vase life were found among treatments.
Longer vase life and less weight loss were observed in the stems exposed to low concentrations of silver nanoparticles.
Low concentrations of silver nanoparticles promoted inflorescence opening and increased vase life of Chrysanthemum cv.
Puma.
