A field experiment was conducted to assess the response of different vase solutions on the post-harvest life of Dahlia during the month of February 2025. The experiment comprises different concentrations and combinations of vase solution. The treatments were: T₁ (Distilled water), T₂ (2% Sucrose), T₃ (4% Sucrose), T₄ (6% Sucrose), T₅ (8% Sucrose), T₆ (2% Sucrose + 15 ppm Citric acid), T₇ (4% Sucrose + 30 ppm Citric acid), T₈ (6% Sucrose + 45 ppm Citric acid) and T₉ (8% Sucrose + 60 ppm Citric acid). The experiment was outlined in nine treatments and three replications. The data revealed that flowers kept in 2% Sucrose + 15 ppm Citric acid has showed maximum flower weight, water uptake, days to start florets senescence and longevity in days.
