บทคัดย่อ

An introductory chapter which analyses production, consumption and trade figures for different countries of Europe and North America, and describes quality criteria, postharvest losses, and loss reduction techniques for cut flowers and ornamental pot plants is followed by a chapter on the basic principles of flower and plant senescence. The following 6 chapters are each dedicated to an individual cut flower crop or group, viz. carnation, rose, chrysanthemum, tulip, orchid and gladiolus. Each of these chapters (except for the brief chapter on tulips) provides information on commercial cultivars, the nature and causes of postharvest losses, techniques for reducing losses, including appropriate cultural practices, harvesting, grading, packing and storage methods, and the use of floral preservative solutions. The final 3 chapters deal with postharvest loss reduction in other cut flowers (cut foliage included), in flowering pot plants, and in foliage plants.
