In: Journal of Agricultural Research Kafrelsheikh Univeristy 2009.v.35(2)Summary: Essential oils of clove, cinnamon, ginger, marjoram and fennel were evaluated against microorganisms grown in preservative solution of Gladiolus hybrida cv. Peter pears spikes compared with AgNO₃ at 10 ppm and distilled water. The essential oils were used as additives to preservative solution at 500 ppm. Data showed that, using essential oils in preservative solution significantly decreased the microbial density, spike base rot and deteriorated florets and increased spikes vase-life. The highest number of open florets and spikes water uptake was recorded when AgNO₃ and fennel oil were added to preservative solution as compared with control. Although some essential oils i.e. clove and fennel surpassed AgN03 in some characters, AgNO₃ prolonged the flower longevity in vase more than all essential oils.
