Ameliorating quality and vase life of Solidago canadensis flowers via supplementation of eucalyptus, neem and rosemary as phyto-preserver oils
The higher concentration of different essential oils gave better results than the lower concentration. These results suggest that for the floriculture industry, natural phyto-oils provide a clear viable method to extend the vase life of solidago cut flowers. Thus, neem oil at a concentration of 400 mg L<sup>-1</sup> added to a preservative solution is considered the most promising practice for prolonging the vase life and maintaining high quality of Solidago.
