 Response of Detached Leatherleaf Fern Fronds to Silver Nitrate Pulses
Studies of wilt in maidenhair fern established that a short vase life was due to inhibition of water flow through the rachis (2).
Silver nitrate was not among the silver-containing compounds tested, therefore the following experiments were conducted to evaluate pulsing with silver nitrate solutions and subsequent effects on postharvest water uptake and vase life of leatherleaf fern.
Fujino and Reid (2, 3) in their study on maidenhair fern, initially selected silver nitrate and tested it in conjunction with several other compounds with bactericidal properties because it was theorized that blockage may have been due to bacteria in the holding solution or within the rachis itself.
