Chrysal where daily consumption ranges from110-225 ml. Control consumed between 30-150ml, Sapientia between 10-100 ml and Oasisbetween 20-150 ml of water. We noticed adramatic increase in water consumption in thelast day before wilting.By applying Games-Howell test we foundsignificant differences between Chrysal,Bioplant, Oasis and Control, Sapientia.prematurely. Bioplant had difficulties inblossoming but eventually did bloom.Figure 7. The potential quantum effect of the leafFigure 5. Water quantity in the stemThe water amount in the stem was measured bythe Phyto-monitoring system. Figure 5. refersto water quantity values and they showsignificant variations among the differentsolutions.Ratio Fv/Fm indicates the maximum degree ofuse of light in photosynthesis. Values below0,75 in this report indicate disturbances in theuse of light. The graphic shows that this ratioremains constant only in the case of Bioplantand Chrysal. On day 11 Control drops belowthis value, Oasis on the 12 th day and Sapientiaon the13 th .Games-Howell test shows significantdifferences between Chrysal, Bioplant andSapientia.Figure 8. Vitality indexFigure 6. Flower diameter measured in AlstroemeriaWe measured flower blooming on a daily basis.This procedure is to indicate the extent of andthe pace (speed) of blooming. In case ofChrysal and Oasis the flowers startedblossoming going through its every stage,Control on the other started the wilting processVitality index of the photosynthesis is theparameter most sensitive to variations inenvironmental factors. Photosynthetic devicesstop measuring when close to value 0 (zero).This happened on day 11 in the case of Control,then on day 15 in the case of Oasis, and on day17 in the case of Sapientia. Using the Games-Howell test we found significant differences336
