CURTI, Gilberto Luiz; MARTIN, Thomas Newton; FERRONATO, Marlene de Lurdes  e  BENIN, Giovani. Ornamental sunflower: characterization, postharvest and senescence scale. Rev. de Ciências Agrárias [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.1, pp.240-250. ISSN 0871-018X.

The ornamental sunflower widen the market of ornamental plants in Brazil. Thus, this study aimed to present a characterization of post-harvest management and to propose a range of senescence stage of sunflower as an ornamental in relation to senescence, flower longevity and benchmark values of trade. The production of flowers is a high risk activity for the fragility of the product, aesthetic qualities and conditions of production as well as lower post-harvest durability of the product. This study proposes a range of senescence stages for ornamental sunflower cultivars as the aging of different chapters to assign salaries and marketability of the crop.
