“…En otros estudios, Heliconia psittacorum x spathorcinata tropics mostró la mejor respuesta con maquillaje de aceite mineral y con el uso de tratamiento en seco (posterior al corte, no se utilizó agua para su conservación en florero) (Linares-Gabriel et al, 2019b). Una característica interesante en Heliconias es que no existen conexiones vasculares entre el pedúnculo floral y las hojas, lo que contribuye a una baja absorción de agua después de la cosecha (Carrera Alvarado et al, 2019).…”

“…En H. wagneriana se ha aplicado cera en las brácteas y el uso de ácido salicílico (SA a 1 mM) en solución conservante a temperatura ambiente y en cámara frigorífica (10 °C / 10 días). Los tallos control almacenados a temperatura ambiente tuvieron 9 d de vida en florero, mientras que los encerados 12 d; los tallos de control almacenados en refrigeración tuvieron 4.3 d adicionales de vida en florero y los encerados 6.2 días (Carrera Alvarado et al, 2019).…”

Background: Heliconias are commercially important flowers due to its abundance of shapes, sizes, and colors. In Mexico, however, this ornamental crop is not considered in the statistical yearbook of agricultural production. In addition, there is no research regarding the context of tropical floriculture. Objective: To explore all scientific contributions related to the cultivation of heliconias. Methodology: A bibliographic search was conducted in Redalyc, SciELO, Scopus and Google Scholar with the key word “heliconia.” After cleansing the database of similar results, we generated a final compilation of 42 papers, which were then subject to an analysis of textual content by using Nvivo 12 Plus software to identify the contributions by means of the following categories of analysis: Production, post-harvesting, and commercialization. The species of heliconias were also identified. Results: The content analysis showed that 73.71% of all scientific contributions correspond to the production category, 12.5 % to post-harvesting, and 13.88% to commercialization. For each category, different topics which guide the contributions were identified. We found 43 species of heliconias that were used for research purposes in the three categories of analysis. Implications: The analysis was limited only to scientific contributions explored. An analysis that considered other sources of information could have strengthened this analytical exercise. Conclusion: The scientific contributions regarding the cultivation of heliconias are mainly oriented to the production category, which demonstrates that the focus is on the improvement of the production process. On the contrary, the contributions on post-harvesting and commercialization are incipient; therefore, it is important to address these topics in future research.

“…The recommended temperature for the transport and storage of heliconias is around 10 °C as they are sensitive to damage by cold. It is recommended to wax the stems to maintain the appearance of the flower stem (Alvarado et al, 2019).…”

Global vision of heliconias research as cut flower: a review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

It is relevant to systematize the global knowledge generated about heliconia due to its economic importance in tropical floriculture and the cut flower market. The objective was to explore the results generated in scientific research related to the cultivation of heliconias as cut flower in terms of its methodological approach, research axes, and spatial distribution in terms of the contributions by country. A bibliographic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of science and SciELO based on the keywords “heliconia” and “tropical flowers”. Thereafter, a content analysis of the documents was conducted with the Nvivo software using a priori categories in terms of methodological approach, research axes, year, countries, and cultivars or varieties. The results indicate that the scientific contributions are mostly under a quantitative approach (98.1%). The investigations mainly address productive aspects (74.5%), post-harvest aspects (16.1%), market (6.7%) while industry-used products (2.5%) are scarcely addressed. The countries that make the most contributions are: Brazil (54.5%), Colombia (15.4%) and Mexico (10.9%). The most important species are: H. psittacorum, H. bihai, H. spathocircinata, H. rostrata and H. wagneriana. These results suggest conducting research to identify problems from the physiological, environmental, productive, and economic processes, as well as considering the strategies of farmers as a priority. This must be approached from paradigms where social actors (farmers), their development and the impacts of their social tasks on the cultivation of heliconias are considered the main axis.
