dc.description.abstractThe present investigation entitled “Studies on staggered planting and jeevamrit application on flower and corm production of Gladiolus (Gladiolus hybrida L.)” was carried out at Research Farm of Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, (Nauni) Solan (HP) for two consecutive years; 2022 and 2023. The experiment was laid out in RBD (Factorial) with three replications. Two cultivars ‘Punjab Dawn’ and ‘Pusa Kiran’ were planted at three different dates (25th January, 25th February and 25th March) and were given two drench applications of jeevamrit @ 20% (15 days interval, 30 days interval) along with RDF as control. Between the cultivars, ‘Punjab Dawn’ when planted on 25th January and drenched with jeevamrit at 15 days interval, resulted in maximum number of florets (13.73) and floret size (10.00 cm). Staggered planting of gladiolus on 25th January, 25th February and 25th March resulted in continuous flowering from early May to late July. The 25th January planting is the most profitable with a benefit-cost ratio of 3.73 and is best for corm production, yielding the highest number and quality of corms and cormels. Applying jeevamrit as a drench at 15 days interval produces high-quality gladiolus stems, enhancing spike length, number of florets, and vase life. This method yields the highest benefit-cost ratios: 3.73 for 'Punjab Dawn' and 3.33 for 'Pusa Kiran'. For corm production, jeevamrit drenching every 15 days also results in the best outcomes in terms of the number of corms per plant, corm weight, and corm size.
