This study investigated the effects of sucrose and GA3 treatments on the longevity of cut carnation flowers Dianthus caryophyilus var Yellow, respectively. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors and three levels of sucrose (0, 0.5 and 1%) and GA3 at four levels (0, 3, 6 and 9 mg/L) in three replications. Several traits such as longevity rate, diameter of flower, petals color, and relative water content, pH, and electrolyte leakage was measured. The results showed that 6 mg/L GA3 and sucrose had a significant difference compared to the control. Longevity has increased (67.3%) than controls (1%).
