Abstract

Report Summary: The quality of carnation blooms stored in 1/2 or 1 percent oxygen atmospheres was better after 4 to 5 weeks of storage than that of blooms held in air. Low-oxygen atmospheres reduced the incidence of decay in storage. However, the low-oxygen atmosphere in storage was only slightly effective in prolonging the display life. The addition of carbon dioxide to the low-oxygen atmospheres did not increase the storage life of the blooms. Carnation blooms held at 32° F. for 4 to 5 weeks developed petal injury. This injury was greatly reduced at 36°. Respiration rates during storage were reduced in low-oxygen atmospheres, but comparable increase in post-storage life of the blooms was not obtained.
