Abstract
A study was carried out to evaluate the role of packing methods on vase life of tuberose. The packing methods in which the spikes wrapped in 200 gauge polyethylene sheet (P2) were found for longest vase life of spike, maximum uptake of water, lowest loss-uptake ratio, better freshness as well as lowest wilting of florets and highest percentage of opened florets. However, packing method P2 was found at par with wrapping the spike in metal paper (P7). Similarly, the poor response was obtained by the packing in craft paper (P6) and control (P8) in which the bunch of spikes were packed in CCBB without wrapping.
