The vase life and storage condition on postharvest longevity of the cut flower of Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep.

The fresh weight and basal diameter of the cut curcuma flowers decreased with time after harvest if not inserted into water immediately. The vase life increased 2-4 days if the stem base were recut. There was no respiration peak and release of ethylene after cutting. Addition of 1 ppm of ethylene failed to decrease the vase life of cut flowers. The time spent out of water is the key factor affecting vase life. Cut flowers should be placed in water immediately after cutting. Optimum temperature for the storage was between 10 and 12 deg C. This temperature plus fungicide treatment could increase the quality after storage for 7 or 14 days.
