The maintenance of postharvest quality of cut-flowers is extremely important in order to reward the work spent to increase the production with the commercialization of the product. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different gibberellic acid concentrations on quality maintenance of chrysanthemum. The experiment was conducted in a complete random design with five replications. The treatments were composed by the packing of the chrysanthemum cultivars ‘Flippo', ‘Recital' e ‘Bronze Repim', in solutions with 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100mg L-1 of gibberelic acid. The gibberellic acid application in postharvest solution increased the senescence of flowers and leaves of chrysanthemum cultivars evaluated.
