Includes reference.

This study were carried out at post harvest Lab of the Department of Ornamental plants Res. and Landscape Gardening, Hort. Res. Inst. Agric. Res. Center, Giza during two seasons (2006 and 2007). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using some ethylene inhibitors, some growth regulators and storage periods on the longevity of cut leaves and branches of Eucalyptus pulverulenta "Baby Blue" in order to improve their quality and extend their vase life. Branches were pulsed in a distilled water, Florissant -400 (4 ml/l), Florissant -400 (4 ml/l) + sucrose( 5%) and Florissant -400 (4ml/l) + sucrose (5%) + GA₃ (150 ppm) for 48 hours.
