Abstract:

The experiment was conducted at College of Horticulture, Munirabad, Koppal district Karnataka with an object to study the post harvest studies in Crossandra which was carried out under lab condition during the year 2020-21 comprising of nine treatments with three replications and design adopted was CRD. The details of chemical treatments includes T1–Sucrose – 2 %, T2–Sucrose – 4 %, T3- Boric acid – 2 %, T4- Boric acid – 4 %, T5– Aluminium sulphate - 2 %, T6-Aluminium sulphate – 4 %, T7– Ascorbic acid 100 ppm, T8- Ascorbic acid 200 ppm, T9- Control. The results indicated that spraying of ascorbic acid @ 200 ppm directly to flowers enhanced shelf life of Crossandra.
