This study investigated the effects of commercial protein hydrolysate formulations applied by different methods for improving cut rose quality and vase life. The experiment was performed on plants of Cardinal roses. Four commercial products [Agrostim®, TerraSorb® (foliar), TerraSorb® (substrate) and AminoQuelant®)] containing amino acids and low molecular weight peptides were used. A generalized increase in dry weight of flowering shoots was observed when products were applied for a relatively long time (5 months at a weekly frequency). A correlated increase in vase life was also found. The response was independent of the application method.Additional key words: rose; postharvest; cut flower; amino acids; peptidesHow to Cite
