A gérbera é uma flor de corte de alto valor cuja longevidade comercial é frequentemente comprometida pela oclusão vascular induzida por microrganismos e pela senescência associada ao estresse oxidativo. Este estudo avaliou a eficácia do extrato foliar de Derris elliptica como um bioconservante natural e ecológico para prolongar a vida de vaso de gérberas de corte. Os resultados demonstraram que o extrato de D. elliptica melhorou significativamente o desempenho pós-colheita de forma dose-dependente, sendo 175 mg L-1 identificado como a concentração ótima. Nesse nível, a vida de vaso foi estendida para 13,57 dias, quase o dobro em comparação ao controle com água destilada (6,93 dias). O extrato suprimiu efetivamente a proliferação microbiana na solução de vaso, mantendo uma baixa densidade óptica (0,15) em comparação ao controle (0,72) no dia 10. Essa redução da carga bacteriana preservou a condutividade hidráulica do xilema, resultando em melhor balanço hídrico, conforme evidenciado por valores de peso fresco relativo superiores a 100%. Além disso, o tratamento com 175 mg L-1 reduziu significativamente os danos oxidativos, diminuindo o teor de malondialdeído e o extravasamento de eletrólitos. Esse efeito esteve associado ao aumento das defesas antioxidantes, bem como a maiores teores de compostos fenólicos totais e flavonoides (2,6 a 4,7 vezes superiores ao controle). No entanto, concentrações mais elevadas (200-250 mg L-1) resultaram em redução do desempenho fisiológico, indicando um limiar ótimo em 175 mg L-1. De modo geral, o extrato de Derris elliptica prolongou a vida de vaso por meio de um mecanismo duplo, envolvendo a supressão microbiana e a regulação do estresse oxidativo.
