The study explores how natural plant extracts serve as eco-friendly antimicrobial substitutes for chemical preservatives like 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) to prolong the vase life of Ruscus aculeatus cut branches. The researcher at the University of Duhok carried out her study from January to March 2022 to examine how different essential oils and their mixtures affect postharvest longevity. The researcher applied various solutions including distilled water, 8-HQ, and essential oils at 300 µg/mL to the cut branches
