Accumulated water consumption in postharvest of evaluated cut flowers of 15 tulip varieties 3 (A), 5 (B), 7 (C), 9 (D) and 11 (E) days after cutting in response to different preservative solutions. Different letters in each variety (column) of each subfigure indicate statistical differences according to the Tukey test (P ≤ 0.05).
