ThesisItem Open Access Effect of planting time on growth and flowering of gladiolus under different growing conditions(CCSHAU, 2019) Neeraj; Beniwal, B.S.The present study entitled, “Effect of planting time on growth and flowering of gladiolus under different growing conditions” cv. Eurovision was carried out during 2018-19 at Agri Tourism Centre, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The investigation composed of four dates of planting i.e. 10th October, 17th October, 24th October, 1st November and three growing conditions, i.e. open condition, shadenet and polyhouse. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with four replications. With the possible combination of planting time and growing conditions maximum number of leaves per plant (7.80), leaf width (2.82 cm), number of florets per spike (11.10), corm weight (48.03 g) were observed with 10th October in open condition. Maximum plant height (127.85 cm) and leaf length (57.15 cm) were recorded with combination 10th October in polyhouse. The planting on 10th October recorded significantly maximum spike length (75.80 cm), floret diameter (8.94 cm), number of spikes per plant (1.75), number of spikes per plot (21.6), number of estimated spikes (000) per hectare (150), number of corms per plant (1.80), number of corms per plot (22.44), number of estimated corms (000) per hectare (155.83), corm diameter (6.04 cm), corm weight (44.10 g), number of cormels per plant (34.85), 10 cormels weight (4.46 g) and significantly lowest days taken to slipping stage (75.97), days taken to full emergence of spike (83.72), days taken to first floret to show colour (89.50), days taken to opening of first floret (92.50) in comparison to four planting dates in all growing conditions. Maximum flowering duration (8.22 days) was recorded on 1st November planting. Hundred percent sprouting of corms was observed in all four planting dates under all three growing conditions. Among the various growing conditions, all vegetative and flowering characters were recorded better in plants grown under polyhouse condition as compared to open and shadenet. Number of leaves per plant, leaf width, number of florets per spike, yield and corm characters were superior in open condition.ThesisItem Open Access Use Of 1-Mcp To Enhance Postharvest Quality Of Plums ( Prunus Salicina Lindl.
