This experiment was conducted to find out the effect of sucrose on fresh weight, vase life and flowering rate of snapdragon. In the pretreatment of 12, 24 and 48 hrs, fresh weight without sucrose (control) was decreased rapidly, while that of sucrose increased slowly until the experiments were terminated. Sucrose was found apparently to be effective in increasing the fresh weight when duration of pretreatment was long. It was shown that sucrose in the vase solution extended vase life and increased flowering rate than control.
