Abstract
The over-riding consideration for improving the consumer-level quality of cut flowers and other ornamentals is improved temperature management during shipping and handling. Our research has shown that the proper handling temperature for flowers other than tropicals is close to the freezing point, 0°C (32°F). Techniques for ensuring proper temperatures during marketing include improved precooling, use of surface transportation, disposable time-temperature indicators, and the use of refrigerated air containers. Transporting flowers in water provides only modest protection from the negative effects of marketing at incorrect temperatures.
