ABSTRACT
The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of different planting time and chemicals on growth, flowering and yield parameters of gladiolus cv. Urmi. The results revealed that, 3rd week of October planting (P1) significantly increased all growth, flowering, quality and yield attributes as compared to other planting times viz., 3rd week of November (P2), 3rd week of December (P3) and 3rd week of January (P4). While in case of chemicals, 150 ppm GA3 (C3) had significant effect on growth, flowering, quality and yield attributes as compared to control (C0). In interaction, the treatment i.e. corms treated with GA3 @ 150 ppm and planted during 3rd week of October (P1C3) was best with respect to growth, flowering and yield characters of gladiolus cv. Urmi.
Key words :
