Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for long-term storage or transport of roses or chrysanthemums.
  • the invention further relates to a rose or chrysanthemum packaging assembly.
  • the invention also relates to a container comprising a plurality of rose or chrysanthemum packaging assemblies.
  • the invention still further relates to a use of a rose or chrysanthemum packaging assembly.
  • Known methods for storage of flowers such as during transport thereof, differentiate between short-term storage, such as during air transport, and long-term storage, such as during sea transport.
  • a time period may be indicated as short-term when it takes at most a few, such as three, days, whereas a time period may be indicated as long-term when it takes at least one week, or more, such as two weeks or three weeks, up to about six weeks.
  • NL-C-1021711 discloses a packaging method for ornamental cultivated plants, in particular cut flowers, enabling a long-term storage and transport.
  • the plants are placed in a substantially upright position in a pack, a nutrient medium is placed in the pack, a leaf-yellowing inhibitor is administered to the plants, and the pack is placed in a cooled environment.
  • these flowers are transported as sea freight in temperature controlled containers, making the transport time long, but providing a large transport volume, and keeping the costs at a reasonable level.
  • the present invention provides a method for long-term storage or transport of roses or chrysanthemums according to claim 1.
  • the nutrient is used to protect the roses or chrysanthemums against physiological disorders after being harvested and/or to optimize the water uptake and/or to improve vase life and/or to maintain the quality of the leaves and flowers.
  • Examples of nutrients are Chrysal® CVB or CVBN, Chrysal® Clear RVB, and Chrysal® Clear Professional T/Bag.
  • a further advantage of not using a nutrient medium in the package is that the corresponding costs and the logistics of providing such nutrient medium in the package may be omitted.
  • Another advantage is that the roses or chrysanthemums may be stored and transported either in a lying position (with the stems extending essentially horizontally), or in an upright position (with the stems extending essentially vertically), or any other position or combination of positions.
  • a particular sequence of feeding the nutrient to the roses or chrysanthemums, and applying an anti-fungal agent to the roses or chrysanthemums is not essential, before placing the roses or chrysanthemums in the package.
  • the anti-fungal agent may be contained in said liquid.
  • the anti-fungal agent may also e.g.
  • the anti-fungal agent may further be placed in the package, e.g. contained in a bag or sticker.
  • the roses or chrysanthemums are placed essentially dry (i.e. essentially without liquid on their exterior surface) in the package.
  • the package comprises a first package and a second package enclosing the first package.
  • the first or the second package may comprise a bag made of a suitable flexible material, such as a plastic or paper bag, or may comprise a box, such as a plastic or paper or cardboard box.
  • the box may be provided with a strengthening and/or watertight insert, e.g. a plastic tray at the bottom thereof, to prevent loss of shape of the box by liquid possibly originating from the roses or chrysanthemums or originating from the environment weakening the box material.
  • the tray may be filled with a liquid to feed the roses or chrysanthemums.
  • the first package may be made from a flexible material
  • the second package may be made from an inflexible material providing resistance to impact, and providing sufficient strength to allow stacking of packages.
  • the first package may be made from an inflexible material
  • the second package may be made from a flexible material. Any of the package, the first package and the second package may be reusable.
  • the package is oxygen-transmitting.
  • the first package may be oxygen-transmitting. This means, on the one hand, that the roses or chrysanthemums, when placed in the package, are protected against harmful substances, while, on the other hand, the necessary oxygen can pass into the package or first package to reach the roses or chrysanthemums.
  • the package or first package must be capable of allowing through an amount of oxygen that the roses or chrysanthemums do not suffer any shortage of oxygen during the entire duration of packaging.
  • the package or first package can be made of various materials.
  • the package or first package may have OTR (Oxygen Transmission) values of 9,800 - 11,000 ml/m 2 /day at 23 degrees Celsius; 5,400 - 6,000 ml/m 2 /day at 12.5 degrees Celsius; 975 - 1,100 ml/m 2 /day at 2.5 degrees Celsius; 15 - 135 ml/m 2 /day at 0 degrees Celsius; and approximately 0 at -2 degrees Celsius.
  • the person skilled in the art will quickly be able to select, for example, a suitable (possibly multi-ply, possibly sealable) plastic film for this purpose.
  • the package is ethylene-regulating.
  • the first package may be ethylene-regulating.
  • the ethylene content in the package or first package is kept low, which keeps the roses or chrysanthemums fresh for long time periods. It has also been found that such package or first package aids in preventing the roses or chrysanthemums from drying out, which improves their keeping quality. It has proved advantageous for the package or first package to have an ethylene absorption value in the region of 0.7 - 14 ml/m 2 /day.
  • An example of a suitable ethylene-regulating package or first package is an LDPE film with a kaolin additive.
  • An ethylene-absorbing agent may be applied on or in the material of the ethylene-regulating package.
  • An ethylene-absorbing agent can be provided in various forms, for example in the form of granules.
  • the package is placed in a container, in particular a sea container, constituting the cooled environment.
  • a container allows for a relatively low cost, large volume transport across large distances, while the roses or chrysanthemums can be properly conditioned and packed in accordance with the invention to allow them to be stored and transported during a long time period.
  • the present invention provides a rose or chrysanthemum packaging assembly according to claim 8.
  • the present invention provides a use of the rose or chrysanthemum packaging assembly for long-term storage or transport of roses or chrysanthemums.
  • Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a package comprising a first package 10 embodied as a bag, and a second package embodied as a box, comprising a lower box part 11 and an upper box part 12.
  • the first package 10 may be made essentially from a flexible plastic material.
  • the first package 10 may have oxygen-transmitting and ethylene-regulating c.q. ethylene-absorbing properties.
  • the second package, comprising the lower box part 11 and the upper box part 12 may be made from cardboard.
  • the cardboard is moisture-resistant to aid the cardboard to retain its shape in moist conditions.
  • the lower box part 11 has an essentially rectangular shape, the top side thereof being open, a front side thereof being partly open, and lateral sides thereof having triangular cut-outs matching an upper edge of the front side.
  • the upper box part 12 has an essentially rectangular shape, the bottom side thereof being open.
  • the interior dimensions of the upper box part are slightly larger than exterior dimensions of the lower box part 11, so that the upper box part 12 may fit over the lower box part 11.
  • the lower box part 11 comprises an optional tray-like insert 13 of a rigid material, such as a plastic material, to retain the shape of the lower box part 11, and to prevent any liquid emanating from the first package 10 to reach the lower box part 11 and undesiredly soften the material of the lower box part 11.
  • the insert 13 may also be used as a liquid container when the lower box part 11 is used as a display means at a point of sale, to aid in keeping the roses or chrysanthemums fresh.
  • bouquets of roses or chrysanthemums may have been formed by suitably assembling pluralities of flowers with a rubber band or in a wrapper, for example.
  • a pad 16 comprising an ethylene absorbing agent in an ethylene-transmitting enclosure may have been inserted into the first package 10.
  • agent may also be contained in a bag, a sticker, and the like.
  • the first package 10 as such may alternatively or additionally contain an ethylene absorbing agent.
  • the second package may also be designed as a simple box, i.e. as depicted at reference numeral 12, but being closed at its lower side.
  • the first package 10 is placed in the second package designed as a box, and the lower box part 11 is omitted.
  • the package may further be formed as a Procona® package as known in the art, i.e. a bucket made from a plastic material, having a box, such as a cardboard box, placed on top, where the box is open at its upper and lower side, and having a cover made from a plastic material placed on top of the box.
  • the first package may be formed from a flexible material, to be placed into the assembly of the bucket, the box and the cover forming the second package.
