Summary
An experiment was undertaken to investigate the response of loose tuberose flowers stored at ambient conditions with or without packing in polyethylene bags and with 0.5 or 1.0% ventilation. The rate of physiological loss in weight (PLW) and cumulative PLW were least in the polyethylene bagged flowers compared to the unpacked control. After 5 days PLW in the control was 38.56% compared to a range of 0.68 to 4.12 in the packed flowers. Packing flowers in unventilated polyethylene bags significantly decreased wilting but produced off odours.
