Evaluation of vase life of Ananas lucidus after export process.     The export of tropical flowers is increasing in Brazil.The fact has been occurring because these flowers have a great number of exotic species, diversity of forms and colours, in addition to their great post harvesting durability.Amongst the species, which present the best prospects for international exports, there is mini red ananas (Ananas lucidus).The goal of this work was to simulate the usual procedure to export Ananas lucidus and evaluate its vase life after the transport by air.

Stalks of mini red ananas were harvest and package in standard box, after this the boxes were maintained at 20 °C for 36 h before being transported by airplane.After the transport the boxes arrived in the laboratory of postharvest of Agronomic Institute, where the stalks were analyzed, put in solution of benziladenine (0, 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1) by 24 h and after this they were maintained in water until to the end of the experiment.The experiments were arranged in random block design comprising 10 stalks per treatment.

The results revealed that the procedure used is adequate for this specie and the use of 50 mg L-1 of benziladenine could prolong in two days the vase life of Ananas lucidus.
