Abstract: CROOX, REMEDIOS P., Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, 1991. "Technology Verifi-cation on Postharvest Vaselife of Gladiola and Afri-can Daisy Using Sugar Solution", Prof. Amornita C. Sanchez, Adviser. Amornita Sanchez The study was conducted from December 1990 to January 1991 at the laboratory room of the Research Building of the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite. Its objectives were to determine the effects of glucose on the vaselife of gladiola and african daisy and to determine the best level of glu-cose that can lengthen the vaselife of gladiola and african daisy. African daisy and gladiola were used in this study. These were immersed in the prepared solution with dissolved glucose required per treatment for vaselife evaluation. Seven treatments'were divided randomly with three replications. The different treat-ments used were: Treatment 1 - control/no sugar; Treatment 2 - 250 grams of glucose per 500 ml H20; Treatment 3 - 500 grams of glucose per 500 ml H20; Treatment 4 - 750 grams of glucose per 500 ml H20; Treatment 5 - 1000 grams of glucose per 500 ml H20; Treatment 6 - 1250 grams of glucose per 500 ml H20; Treatment 7 - 1500 grams of glucose per 500 ml H2O; Results of the study showed that T7 (1500 grams of glucose per 500 ml H20) of gladiola took six days to full bloom. High level of glucose content in-creased the longevity of cutflowers,as well as the turgidity of tissues. The greater floret opening and size due to the action of glucose content was obtained from T3 (500 grams of sugar per 500 ml H20) of gladiola. It was found out that number of days from immersion to full bloom, number of days from immersion to wilting, number of days from immersion to softening of the stem, percentage of flowers wilted from immer-sion to termination and size of florets increases with an increase in the levels of glucose dissolved in water.

The study was conducted from December 1990 to January 1991 at the laboratory room of the Research Building of the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite. Its objectives were to determine the effects of glucose on the vaselife of gladiola and african daisy and to determine the best level of glu-cose that can lengthen the vaselife of gladiola and african daisy. African daisy and gladiola were used in this study. These were immersed in the prepared solution with dissolved glucose required per treatment for vaselife evaluation.

Results of the study showed that T7 (1500 grams of glucose per 500 ml H20) of gladiola took six days to full bloom. High level of glucose content in-creased the longevity of cutflowers,as well as the turgidity of tissues. The greater floret opening and size due to the action of glucose content was obtained from T3 (500 grams of sugar per 500 ml H20) of gladiola. It was found out that number of days from immersion to full bloom, number of days from immersion to wilting, number of days from immersion to softening of the stem, percentage of flowers wilted from immer-sion to termination and size of florets increases with an increase in the levels of glucose dissolved in water.
