Sucrose, salicylic acid and citric acid solutions to extent vase life of Vriesea incurvata Gaudich. (Bromeliaceae) floral scapes
Vriesea incurvata is a native bromeliad from Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest and commercialized as an ornamental pot plant. The morphological characteristics of its floral scape may also indicate it as a new product to use as a cut flower. However, its postharvest behavior was unknown. This study was conducted to determine its vase life by applying distilled water (control) and solutions containing sucrose (50 g L-1), salicylic acid (50 μM), and citric acid (50 g L-1) for periods of 8 and 24 h. Floral scapes maintained in solutions showed vase life greater than 16 days when compared to the control (distilled water). However, solutions with sucrose evidenced the best behaviors related to the maintenance of physiological and aesthetic features during the vase life of the floral scapes. It is concluded that solutions with sucrose, salicylic acid, and citric acid applied for 8 and 24 h extend the vase life of the V. incurvata floral scapes. Sucrose applied for 8 h promotes the maintenance of color, brightness, and turgidity; improves water balance, and reduces the relative fresh weight losses of floral scapes throughout the vase life, extending their longevity up to 24 days.

Vriesea incurvata es una bromelia nativa de la Selva Atlántica Brasileña y se comercializa como planta ornamental de maceta. Las características morfológicas de su escapo floral también pueden indicarla como un nuevo producto para uso como flor cortada. Sin embargo, su comportamiento poscosecha era desconocido. Este estudio se realizó para determinar su vida útil en florero mediante la aplicación de agua destilada (control) y soluciones de sacarosa (50 g L-1), ácido salicílico (50 µM) y ácido cítrico (50 g L- 1) por períodos de 8 y 24 h. Escapos florales mantenidos en las soluciones presentaron una vida útil en florero superior a 16 días en comparación con el control (agua destilada). Sin embargo, las soluciones con sacarosa evidenciaron los mejores comportamientos relacionados al mantenimiento de las características fisiológicas y estéticas durante la vida útil en florero de los escapos florales. Se concluye que las soluciones con sacarosa, ácido salicílico y ácido cítrico por períodos de 8 y 24 h extienden la vida útil en florero de los escapos florales de V. incurvata. La solución con sacarosa aplicada por 8 h promueve el mantenimiento del color, brillo y turgencia; mejora el balance hídrico; y reduce las pérdidas de masa fresca relativa de los escapos florales durante la vida útil en florero, extendiendo su longevidad hasta 24 días.
