Abstract
The current research paper manifests the impact of the electromagnetic field radiation on prolongation of the vase life of carnation cut flowers. Carnation cuttings were pre-exposed to various EMF flux densities (50 Hz) viz., 0, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180 and 200 mT via electromagnet. The optimal exposure time of the carnation cuttings with EMF was 10 minutes of duration. The think about concluded the best outcomes with EMF 160 mT flux density with reference to the plant growth, floral traits, and vase life extension. Thus the pre-exposure of the carnation cuttings to EMF radiation has a profound impact on its cut blooms vase life prolongation.
