The Effects of Ethylene and Silver Thiosulphate on the Postharvest Quality of Cutflower Lupines

   Terms & Conditions of Use


Silver thiosulphate (a nonapproved treatment) proved effective in counteracting the effects of ethylene on the inflorescences of racemes in several Lupinus species; the next step is to find a new compound with similar characteristics.
