Oleander (Nerium oleander L. Apocynaceae) is a Mediterranean evergreen shrub widely grown as an ornamental for its abundant and long-lasting flowering as well as its moderate hardiness. Widely used for ornamental purposes in India, nerium flowers have a very limited life after they have been cut off from the mother plant, as survival on their own reserves is generally low due to the special morphological and physiological characteristics of their tissues. In this present study, the evaluated using different chemicals treatments viz., boric acid, citric acid, GA3 and sucrose to study the longevity of the flower viz., flower blooming, freshness, colour fading, physiological loss weight and shelf life. This experiment revealed significant influence, when flowers were treated with GA3-200 ppm polybag packed in (T10) and when treated with sucrose solution 2% and polybag packed in (T2), on the flowering characters of nerium.Keywords

Paprika (Capsicum annuum var. longam) is the Hungarian word for plants in the genus Capsicum, belonging to the family Solanaceae which has its origin from Western Hemisphere of the world. Fertigation is known to play a vital role in enhancing the productivity and quality of many horticultural crops. Fertigation studies on paprika (Capsicum annuum var. longam) were carried out, during 2006-2009 at Coimbatore to find out the effect of different sources and levels of potassium on post harvest characters of paprika. The treatment T7 recorded the lowest Physiological loss in weight and fruit spoilage, the highest fruit firmness and shelf-life.Keywords
