| Abstract | ||||
| This investigation was carried out at Antoniades Research Branch. Horticulture Institute, Ministry of Agriculture, Alexandria, Egypt, during 2016 and2017 seasons. The study was atrial to investigate the effects of pulsing benzyladenine (BA), gibberellic acid (GA3) at 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0mM of each and salicylic acid (SA) at 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5mM on some vegetative and chemical trails during the vase life of Cyperus alternifolius stems. The results showed that application of benzyladenine (BA) at 2.0 mM caused a significant increase in vase life, final water uptake, relative fresh weight (RFW),vase solution uptake rate (VSU ), chlorophyll a, b and reducing sugar content. | ||||
