In order to study the effect of 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate treatments on vase life of lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflora Mariachii. cv. blue) cut flowers, a study was done on base of completely randomized design. Cut flowers were kept in pots containing chemical solutions with 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (200-300-400 ppm). In all treatments, except controls, 2.5% sucrose has been used and were placed in room temperature at 25.C In this experiment some qualitative and quantitative attributes e.g.: Vase life, fresh weight, ethylene production rate, water uptake etc were measured and analyzed statistically. Results were shown that 200 ppm 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate along with 2.5% sucrose has the most effectiveness on vase life of lisianthus cut flowers. Ethylene production in 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (all treatments) along with 2.5% sucrose was lover than control.
