Leaf yellowing of Alstroemeria hybrida L. 'Rio' and Jacqueline', as measured by sphere spectrocolorimetry, was significantly delayed in vase life studies when the ends of cut stems were immersed in solutions of BAP or GA3 immediately following harvest. When BAP or GA3 was used alone at 50 mg.liter-1, foliage color and color intensity did not diminish during 14 days storage in tap water. BAP and GA3 also showed interaction effects on leaf color, but little was gained by using combinations of chemicals.
