Abstract
A field experiment entitled ` Studies on cultivation of gladiolus in open and
protected conditions” was carried out during the year 2009-10 in the Department of
Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar with a view to standardize the
time of planting of gladiolus under open, low-cost polyhouse and Hi-tech greenhouse.
Studies on the effect of different growing conditions and sowing dates on growth and yield
attributes of gladiolus revealed that the planting during August to November recorded with
minimum number of days and significantly highest percentage of sprouting ,leaf area and
number of leaves per plant , plant height, number of days taken to emergence, number of
days taken opening of basal and last floret , number of florets/spike, diameter florets,
number of cormels per plant ,weight of corms and cormels and size of corms during
studies in comparison to six planting dates in all growing conditions. Among the various
growing conditions (open field, low-cost polyhouse and Hi-tech greenhouse) tested, the
open field exhibited significantly highest performances till November planting , low-cost
polyhouse was low in all objectives particularly in floral parts and greenhouse gave best
result during November planting.
