Description
Summary:&lt;!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --&gt; &lt;p class="western" align="JUSTIFY"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sucrose in the inflorescence durability of Alpinia purpurata var. Red Ginger. The experimental design was completely randomized, with five treatments and four replications. Three inflorescences (40 cm length) were used for each replication. The evaluated treatments were different sucrose concentrations (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) applied as pulsing solution. The experiment was conducted at room temperature and natural light. It was possible to conclude that the use of these solutions for preserving the A. purpurata inflorescence quality, under this experiment conditions, was not satisfactory as compared to the control treatment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="western" align="JUSTIFY"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;KEY-WORDS: Postharvest; cut flowers; conservation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br>&lt;!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --&gt; &lt;p class="western" align="JUSTIFY"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da sacarose na durabilidade de inflorescências de Alpinia purpurata var. Red Ginger. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições. Cada repetição foi constituída de três hastes florais, medindo 40 cm de comprimento. Os tratamentos avaliados foram diferentes concentrações de sacarose (0%, 2%, 4%, 6% e 8%), na forma de solução de pulsing. O experimento foi conduzido em temperatura e luminosidade ambiente. Conclui-se que o uso destas soluções para a conservação da qualidade de inflorescências de Alpinia purpurata, sob as condições de condução deste experimento, não foi satisfatório, se comparado ao tratamento controle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="western" align="JUSTIFY"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Pós-colheita; flor de corte; pulsing; conservação.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
