Abstract
In order to evaluate the effect of medium and spraying calcium nano-fertilizer on quality of cut gerbera flowers, an experiment was conducted as factorial in completely randomized design with 7 media and 3 calcium nano-fertilizer concentrations with 3 replications. The media included cocopeat + perlite (1:1), peat moss + perlite (1:1), mushroom compost + perlite (1:1), peat moss + cocopeat + perlite (1:1:2), mushroom compost + peat moss + perlite (1:1:2), mushroom compost + cocopeat + perlite (1:1:2) and mushroom compost alone. The concentrations of calcium nano-fertilizer were 0, 1 and 2 mgL-1. Results demonstrated that different media had significant influence on flower diameter, neck flower diameter and vase life. The highest diameter of flower and neck flower were observed in peat + perlite (1:1), the highest flower fresh weight in cocopeat + mushroom compost + perlite (1:1:2) and the greatest vase life in peat + cocopeat + perlite (1:1:2) media. Calcium nano-fertilizer had a significant effect on vase life and flower quality, so that vase life was increased by enhancing the concentration of calcium nano-fertilizer. In interactions between medium and nano-calcium fertilizer, the highest flower number was observed in peat + mushroom compost + perlite (1:1:2) medium without nano-calcium fertilizer, and the greatest anthocyanin was related to peat + cocopeat + perlite (1:1:2) medium without nano-calcium fertilizer. There was no significant interaction in other traits.

8 of 10 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.
Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
