Summary
Leaf fall is associated with plant size or age. Plants 80-90 cm high could be suitably acclimatized for shipment overseas under dark cold storage at 16 °C and 85-90% relative humidity. Wax treatments significantly reduced leaf yellowing and defoliation and preserved quality and colour. Kinetin applied to plants 85-100 cm high was more effective than gibberellin. A concentration of 10-ppm kinetin and wax was found to be an effective treatment for retaining overall quality during prolonged storage.
