2013 journal article

Water quality effects on postharvest performance of cut calla, hydrangea, and snapdragon

SCIENTIA HORTICULTURAE, 153, 26–33.

By: I. Ahmad n, J. Dole n , A. Carlson n & F. Blazich n

author keywords: Antirrhinum majus; Hydrangea macrophylla; Zantedeschia spp.; Electrical conductivity; pH; Cut flower longevity
topics (OpenAlex): Postharvest Quality and Shelf Life Management; Plant Physiology and Cultivation Studies; Flowering Plant Growth and Cultivation
TL;DR: Each species had differing responses to varying pH and EC levels; however, solution pH should be low, as high pH solutions either had no effect or reduced vase life, such as with hydrangea. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: Chamaecyparis thyoides; conifer; native plants; high temperature; photosynthesis; respiration; mineral nutrient concentration
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics; Seedling growth and survival studies; Botany, Ecology, and Taxonomy Studies

Mineral nutrient and carbohydrate status of loblolly pine during mist propagation as influenced by stock plant nitrogen fertility

HORTSCIENCE, 34(7), 1279–1285.

By: D. Rowe  n, F. Blazich n & R. Weir n

author keywords: Pinus taeda; Pinaceae; conifer; adventitious rooting; stem cuttings; hedged stock plants
topics (OpenAlex): Seedling growth and survival studies; Growth and nutrition in plants; Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases
TL;DR: Survival of cuttings was greater for the poor-rooting family (BR) than for the good-rooted family (GW) (82%) after 12 weeks, and levels of total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC) and individual soluble sugars were initially higher incuttings taken from stock plants that received higher rates of N, whereas the reverse was true for starch content.
