| dc.description.abstract | The present investigations on 10 hybrids and one check variety of Gladiolus hybridus were carried out to know their performance and to findout their suitability for cut flower production under transitional tract of Karnataka. There were significant variations for all the characters among the genotypes studied. Dharwad-10, Dharwad-1, Dharwad-3, Dharwad-7 and Dharwad-5 showed superior performance over other hybrids and also check variety with respect to number of days taken for first floret to open, spike length, number of florets per spike, rachis length and dormancy period etc. Spike characters are important with regard to cut flower production in gladiolus especially when we consider quality. The hybrids under study have shown significant differences with respect to spike length, spike girth, rachis length and weight of the spike. Spike length showed a significant positive correlation with average weight of corm (planted), plant height, girth of spike, weight of the spike, rachis length, number of florets per spike and number of cormels per plant at genotypic level. The highest direct effect on spike length was observed in case of number of days taken for first floret to open, number of florets per spike average weight of corm planted, length of the rachis and number of cormels per plant. The present study revealed that the improvement in gladiolus for qualitative and quantitative characters can be done by direct selection for desired characters like average weight of corm (planted), number of florets per spike, marketable spike per plant, number of cormels per plant and number of days taken for first floret to open. | en_US |
