Copper distribution and ionic form effects for postharvest treatments of cut Acacia holosericea stems

Ratnayake, Kamani; Bui, Chuc L.; Joyce, Daryl C. (Elsevier, 2011)

A short postharvest life is the major constraint associated with cut Acacia ﬂowers and foliage. Treatment with CuSO4 (Cu2+) has previously been shown to improve the longevity of cut Acacia holosericea stems. Towards ...
Effects of three different nano-silver formulations on cut Acacia holosericea vase life

Liu, Jiping; Ratnayake, Kamani; Joyce, Daryl C.; He, Shenggen; Zhang, Zhaoqi (Elsevier, 2012)

The relative efﬁcacies of three chemically different nano-silver (NS) formulations were evaluated for their potential to extend the vase life of short-lived cut Acacia holosericea foliage. The novel proprietary formulations ...
