Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Chrysanthemum flowers are normally harvested commercially after they have fully opened on the plant. If flowers could be harvested in the bud stage and allowed to develop in chemical solution rather than on the plant, flower growers would have much greater flexibility in their cultural and marketing programs. Flower growers harvesting chrysanthemum flowers as buds might also use their facilities more efficiently by producing more crops per year. The study reported here was undertaken to determine the feasibility of handling and opening standard chrysanthemum flowers, cut in the bud stage, with solutions of 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (8-HQC) and sucrose.
